Cama de madera maciza de roble Bridget | NordicStory

The bed is beautiful, looks sturdy and is easy to assemble. However, shipping took a long time because it was dependent on another item, which would take longer to manufacture. However, we were not told that they could not ship one without the other. When we finally received both items, we found that the box spring was not the size of the bed. Since it took so long to receive the order, we didn't want to get into devolution process and cut it ourselves.

The bed is nicely made, with the exception of some "unfinished" feel on some parts. And it is very sturdy, which is very important.

Especially because good and reasonable priced beds with a good aesthetics are hard to come by here in Portugal, we would most likely buy it again.

However a few things need to be straighten out and they are the reason for giving only 3 stars on my review.

It's not exactly solid wood, as per the description on the online store, since each element like the headboard, side panels, etc., is made out of pieces of solid wood glued together instead of one single piece of solid wood), which can be noticed also from the photos and which we knew about it before placing the order.

The photos on the online store are a little deceptive because the mattress used in the photos may be very thin, measuring perhaps no more than 15cm in thickness/height.

Good quality mattresses these days are at least 25cm or even 30cm, which means the headboard will remain hidden out of sight behind the mattress and the pillows, with very little left visible, if any at all.

Hence, the mattress "well" should be redesigned, as in my opinion, it should be at least 10 cm deep than it is. And because of that, I would call its current shape and form a poor design choice.

The assembly following the provided instructions was a little difficult but not impossible for two people .... a third person would make a huge difference.

We ordered our bed on the 20th of June and, after a quoted delivery of 6-8 weeks.

We finally received the delivery on the 27th of August. But, unfortunately, they shipped two sets of headboard/footboard (one in the wrong size, together with the wooden slats.

No side panels.

After some lengthy exchanges via WhatsApp, we scheduled the pick of the wrong parts a few days later.

However, the correct parts were only delivered two weeks later, after a long aggravation because the shipment tracking kept saying that shipment could not be found. And Roble Store could not provide any info on the parts whereabouts.

So, it took nearly 3 months to get our bed.

I must say that the assistance through WhatsApp was always very responsive and very supportive and kind. But, I needed some action, besides the moral support, and they didn't seem capable of handling the matter, since I felt that, all along, they thought that it was the transportation company's fault.

Last disappointment was when I was fixing the slats to the bed's base and one of the provided screws snapped and I still can't get it out.

They offered a contribution towards the inconvenience of 30 euros, which has never materialized.

So, with all I know, yes I would still buy it. But, I would of course plan it differently.

If you are in a hurry to get your bed and you do not live in Spain, look elsewhere.

I'm very happy with the quality of the build and the wood itself. However, I was quite annoyed by a small part: The 90° degree joints (round metal plates, 8 small, 4 big) that connect the headboard to the sides partially broke when building it up. I'm handy and didn't use pure force. As those are cent-products, it's quite annoying that the quality of those is bad assuming the bed costs several hundreds. There were savings made in the wrong place, I guess.

Me ha encantado la solidez y belleza
