Novogratz Marion Canopy Gold King Bed Frame

We absolutely love this bed frame! One of the best purchases in my life. Very easy to build, sturdy and beautiful. I was very hesitant to buy online a bed but this is superb!

So for starters there are quite a few pieces to this bed. It came with everything need for assembly but I had a friend “help me” (I just handed them the pieces), and the used a power drill. I believe that definitely cut down on the time. It probably took about an hour. The slats at the bottom of the bed have been pretty sturdy minus the clips that link them in occasionally pops out. It comes with extra clips so I exchanged it for another and I haven’t had it pop out again. It’s not super heavy so moving it wasn’t bad. It’s low to the ground I’ll probably add a slim box spring in the future just for some height. It’s super cute in person and everyone loves it. Now with all that said my only complaint is those darn stickers. I was going to attempt to remove but they’re on there pretty good. It doesn’t bother me but I’ll going to get the canopy sheet to drape over it.

Pretty to look at and that’s about it. This bed is for sleeping only! Like take your melatonin and crawl in gingerly, don’t even roll over. One bang sesh and it looks like it was picked up in a hurricane and swirled around the farm and slammed back down in my bedroom. Basically if you’re attracted to guys who skip leg day, this bed is for you. Like a women, overall rating is 1 star for stability and 5 for stars for appearance. Can’t have it all I guess, it is not a unicorn. Perfect for long time married couples or nuns.

This item came packaged well with detailed instructions, all the required parts, and labeled items. I purchased this bed about 5 years ago. I’ve never had any issues putting it together myself as a young woman, but if you’re not a weirdo that LOVES putting together furniture (adult legos?), you’d likely prefer having another person or 2 to help. If you have a power drill, use it. It’s SO much faster. But if you put on some good music the allen wrench does just fine. Pros- She’s real cute. I’ve had a full canopy of sheer curtains, fairy lights, garland, all sorts of things over the canopy part of the bed. Right now, the space I’m in doesn’t look “right” with the canopy poles, so I took them off and it’s just functioning like a bed with short posters on the 4 sides. The gold IS DARKER. Think like a gold that has the value of a medium tan. It has a sheen to it, but it’s not in any way chromatic. This was fine with me, but if you’re wanting something that will match the gold on most gold decor you would see on this site, for example, you’ll find the frame is darker. I haven’t struggled as much as others have seemed to with the mattress moving. If someone is launching themselves onto your bed, it’ll scoot, though. There isn’t any lip to hold it in place, which helps me change the sheets and make the bed a lot easier. Cons- She can be squeaky. I have a theory that this could be remedied with some WD-40 possibly, but I haven’t tested it myself. As others have mentioned, the top, lateral bars of the canopy that connect the posts together, are very much bendable. Don’t put anything with much weight at all on them. If you have curtains up, significant pulling on them could bend the poles, especially if it was near the middle. I didn’t have success straightening it out. I did manage to fully bend one a few years back (think a V shape, don’t ask.), and when I did try to straighten it back out, the metal broke. I tried to mend it with a myriad of adhesives to no avail. I used a wooden dowel between the parts to keep them level, and some garland hid it well enough for me to deal before I got tired of the canopy part. I couldn’t tell you when, but at some point in the past year I’ve managed to bend one of the longer square bars that holds the crossbars for the mattress. But, I have stood on the bars several dozen times, so I’ll take partial blame for sure. It’s very easy to take apart for moving. I would take apart the canopy in its entirety, leave the front and back parts together, detached from the middle, and leave the entire array of bars where the mattress lays as it was. Overall, absolutely worth the money spent on it. My queen cost me just shy of $200 which as a full time college student was about how much I could afford. This bed let me live out my childhood dream of having a whimsical, princess style canopy bed, fairy lights and all. Which healed my inner child for the span of time I could tolerate the lack of airflow that being encased in curtains entails.

Best price I could find for this model of bed is on Amazon
