the upholstered bed frame by the direct online-only store looks chic and welcoming, feels soft and durable and is made in canada. these fantastic results aside, the assembly could not be easier. do not take that statement lightly; i swore off furniture assembly as i swore at an unruly ikea kallax shelf .
endy has four bed frames: the platform bed frame , the adjustable bed, the upholstered bed and the solid wood bed . this review is specific to the upholstered bed , which appears to be the same as the platform bed frame but with a tufted headboard.
once the frame is ready for rest, it’s simple to actually make the bed with linens… like these, our favourites .

delivery: as mentioned, the frame comes in two boxes. two big boxes. the person who delivered the frame called me an hour or so before they dropped it off.
carrying the boxes: i slid the headboard box no problemo. the frame box, problemo. it’s almost 100 lbs and 6’8”. its supermodel dimensions are difficult to maneuver. i used a hotel luggage trolley to transport it, but then came the stairs. my biggest mistake was carrying the frame box upstairs without unpacking it.
learn from my mistake: i carried the headboard up the stairs with enough ease. i am 5’10” with a solid wingspan. i kept the frame box intact and attempted to carry it upstairs. do you know when you laugh and your muscles go useless? the box is so long and heavy and the fact that i think i can carry it up the stairs was hilarious. and then you start thinking of friends and ross and “pivot!” and there’s no hope. i mean, i did it, with my mother, but i’d rather have not done it.

assembly: the instructions that endy provides are so simple to follow. it says it takes 10 minutes to assemble. i say maybe for an olympic bed assembler, but 15-20 minutes should do it.
my favourite feature: as much as i can go on about the easy assembly the final result is what’s most important. it’s a high-quality bed that looks fresh, modern and welcoming.
my least favourite feature: the one that is unpreventable – the weight of the frame box. i felt like i was in a lumberjack competition transporting that frame box. next time, i’ll unpack the box.
recommendation: i recommend this frame to anyone who likes the look of it. that’s the main qualifier if you’re okay with the price. it’s even nicer in person than in photos.
