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!

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.

Overall, it’s not so bad. I had it assembled, and special care was taken to tighten everything up. However, after two days of use the bed with squeak every time it was set on. Any kind of movement would make a squeaking sound. I double checked to make sure everything was tight but still it happens. I spoke to the sender, and they were kind enough to offer a discount to compensate for the inconvenience of having to take it apart and apply some kind of cushioning material. The instructions were very clear, and it was not difficult to assemble, but it did take the person who assembled it about an hour and a half. It does look nice and does have a pleasant design. I would give it a lower rating but because of the customer service I am giving it the rating that I am.

After reading all the negative reviews for this canopy bed re: stickers hard to remove, squeaking and creaking and falling apart, it was not enough to determine me, I knew it would look beautiful in my space, so I still purchased this gorgeous canopy bed. I have always wanted a bed like this all my life. I'm 66 years old and put this frame together by myself. It was straight forward and uncomplicated, instructions and coding were very well explained and easy to follow. Stickers are not hard to remove at all, there is no residue left, you just need a bit of patience, good nails and they come off easily as a whole. Just remove them before construction, for obvious reasons. All in all, I love this bedframe and it completed the whole look of my bedroom makeover. Thank you Novogratz.

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.
