Why our sleep experts loved it

When it comes to furnishing a child's bedroom, finding the perfect balance of functionality and style can be a challenge. That's why the Anderson Mid Sleeper Bed Frame with Cube & Desk from Dreams caught our attention. This innovative bed not only provides a comfortable and sturdy place to sleep, but also offers a wealth of storage options and a pull-out desk that can be used for homework or as a play area.

The majority of customers who purchased the Anderson Mid Sleeper Bed Frame were pleased with their purchase as found the bed easy to assemble, with the ladder being able to be fitted on either side to suit the layout of the room. The storage options were also well received, with many customers finding the cube to be deep and perfect for small rooms. The desk feature was also appreciated, providing a great space for homework or as a play area.

However, there were some areas where customers found the bed to be lacking with some finding the desk difficult to attach and had trouble putting together the storage cube. Other customers also found the chest of drawers flimsy and not included unless they paid extra for it. The main frustration some customers had was how hard it is to change the sheet as the mattress fits in so snugly that you actually have to take the mattress out, put the sheet on and then put it back in which can be a bit more cumbersome than perhaps was desired by the design team at Dreams.

Overall, the Anderson Mid Sleeper Bed Frame with Cube & Desk from Dreams is a versatile and practical option for small rooms that need ample storage. It is easy to assemble and the ladder being able to be moved to either side adds to the practicality for the product being incorporated into an existing room. The storage cube is deep, providing ample space for small rooms and there is plenty of room underneath for dens or other uses. The bed is also quite sturdy and feels safe to use as recommended by hundreds of customers. Despite some minor issues with assembly and flimsy chest of drawers, the Anderson Mid Sleeper Bed Frame is a great option for small rooms with ample storage and a versatile design that will be ideal for the majority of children as a unique mid sleeper.

The instore sales manager came and addressed me and my wife whilst we were looking for a bed and were going to make the purchase online because of the nectar points. Speaking with the sales manager and doing the purchase in store we were able to get a much better deal than what we were originally going to get. The sale was quick, was easy and delivery dates were set for the bed and the mattress at a time in the future whilst we waited for the confirmation of delivery and construction of the bed. Thinking we had a 7 week wait based on internet schedules we set the delivery of the mattress for around then, however we got a message just some two \ three weeks later saying beds ready and well come and do it all then... bonza! just got to get the mattress sorted Called up the team who were delivering the mattress, yes sir, no problem, all done and delivered on the same day. Installation of the bed was great, delivery man and installer turned up before the appointed time, understood we needed to keep doors closed because of pets and kids so brought everything in and started building away. My daughter, a beautiful little three year old wanted to help the man, but after being told she needed to go to nursery said thank you and good bye. the man (is how he will now be known) was polite and said your welcome to my daughter and continued to build the bed and in no time it was up and ready for the mattress. Very happy with the quality of the build and the materials used, would happily use them again.

I recently purchased the Anderson Mid Sleeper Bed Frame with Cube & Desk for my child, and it has been a phenomenal addition to their room! Assembly was a breeze, as the instructions provided were clear and easy to follow. It took me just a few hours to put it all together, and I didn't need any extra hands to help me out. The bed frame itself is not only sturdy but also aesthetically pleasing, making it a perfect addition to any child's bedroom. The space-saving design is truly ingenious, as it incorporates a cube storage unit and a pull-out desk into the structure. This has made my child's room more organized and has given them a convenient space to study and do their homework. My child absolutely loves their new bed, and it has become their favorite spot in the house. The mid-sleeper design provides a sense of adventure and fun while ensuring a safe and comfortable sleep environment. I highly recommend the Anderson Mid Sleeper Bed Frame with Cube & Desk to any parent looking to upgrade their child's bedroom with a functional, stylish, and space-saving piece of furniture. It is truly a fantastic investment that will surely delight any child.

We loved this bed for the storage options available. The bed itself was quite easy to assemble and the ladder can be fitted either side to fit your room. The desk was quite tricky to attach to the bed - definitely not a one person job. We also had a bit of difficulty fitting the storage cube together and we had to get some replacement screws sent out. This was areanged quite promptly through customer service. One hole was a bit off and it meant that the screws originally supplied snapped. So one hole is not properly attached now, but as we were able to get all the others fixed it is fine and safe to use. The storage cube is really deep and therefore is great for small rooms where you need storage. Plus lots of space underneath to make dens or store other things. It's a shame that the colour options are just blue and pink - what about yellow, orange, green, red?! These are interchangeable so we actually have half of one block as the blue side and half as the pink one which made it better for us. Would recommend this product overall. Our child is almost 4 and loves the ladder!

Bought this for my three and a half year old as well need to convert his toddler bed back to a cot soon for my daughter. He manages the steps absolutely fine, I like that its not too high but he still feels super grown up. Decent bed for the money, the desk pulls out as far as you like so my son likes it part way out so he can crawl through and use under the bed like a den.The shelves on the desk part arent as deep as I imagined so limited on what you can actually store there. I was unsure if the drawers and shelves could be interchanged as saw mixed answers but as you can see from the image they can perfectly. My only negative is that the side panels on our bed are really tough and seem unfinished compared to the rest of the bed. We checked they werent fitted the wrong way. Other than that a lovely bed, just a shame about the quality of those sides or would have definitely been 5 star from us.

We took delivery of this bed a couple of weeks ago and, after a few delivery issues, I am pleased to say that it has been very well received by my 7 year old daughter. I managed to persuade the builders that were already doing some work at our house to put the bed up for us. It took them nearly three hours, with plenty of muttering, cursing and sighing, and complaints that the instructions were usesless. Nevertheless, we now have a brilliant addition to my daughters box room. We have used the free-standing box unit that comes with it elsewhere in the room, leaving accessible space under the bed which had been turned into a reading and Lego den, also giving us some much needed space for more storage tucked under the pull-out desk. Its a brilliant solution for a small space. It feels very sturdy, and I have a feeling this will be in use for many years to come.

We bought this for our eldest who's 9 going on 90 as a summer surprise to freshen up her room. She is in the loft/bedroom conversion and this is low enough to leave more than enough room when up top for her to sit up. It comes with an attachable desk that easily slides out and away again so she has somewhere to work, draw and build her Lego. It also comes with a storage unit that can fit under the bed (hers is currently nestled behind the ladder and is tucked away nicely, giving the under of the bed a den-like feel). The bed itself is good quality and solid with only a couple of pieces that feel slightly flimsy. The instructions do say not to use a battery driver and this is probably why as I can imagine the extra force could snap or warp some of the wood. She loves it though and it's a great combination bed for a growing child.

We are really happy with the mid sleeper. It's a really good quality bed and is exactly what we wanted. The draws are bigger than they seemed which is great as I was concerned they might be a bit small. The kids love playing underneath the bed and it's really sturdy and great quality. The high sides give you confidence that they won't roll out and the ladder is really easy to navigate. We do leave a small nightlight on just to give confidence whilst they get used to it. The build took approx 5 hours (bed, cube and draws) the instructions are good but the time is spent making sure the correct parts are used. Numbering these could make it easier. I would definitely have paid for assembly if this had been an option. Overall really happy with this purchase and would recommend it

We bought this a month ago for our 6yo daughter who was in desperate need to move out of her toddler bed which shed been in for 4 years and just didnt fit! She wanted bunk beds, we wanted the extra storage to try and relieve some floor space = this was an excellent solution! We got the version with the drawers, but will store those away for a few years as she wants the space underneath to make a den. The two sets of storage cubes (one on the end of the desk, and one much deeper standalone set) have certainly helped with keeping much of her stuff in check. It took two of us about 2 hours (maybe a bit more) to build the bed, the desk & the storage cube. Generally pretty straightforward with the instructions. One very happy daughter and a much tidier bedroom!

Although we had to wait approx 5 weeks for delivery, the bed, desk, storage units and drawers, once assembled (approx 3-4 hrs for 1 person) met with my 6 yr old son's approval and was the envy of his 9 yr old brother. Quality of build is very good and I hope it will stand the test of time. No reason that it shouldn't as far as I can see. The bed fit perfectly in a small bedroom. The dimensions provided were spot on (they needed to be as I'd fully measured the room, position of radiators windows, door and fitted cupboard openings. It also provides the much needed storage for my son's toys and books. My youngest son even has a desk just like his older two siblings. A very happy boy. Only problem now is that the older two would also like new beds!

My daughter wouldnt sleep in her own bed at night so we gave her an option of a new bed of her choice but to get it she needs to sleep in it all night on her own. I didnt think it would have worked out but shes now slept in her own bed every night since it was built. I paid for them to build as am disabled and would struggle alot to build it. The guys asked if i knew which side i wanted steps and i asked them to put it the way i needed It was built within 30 minutes and ready to use. My daughter loves it easy to clean and by far the sturdyest bed ive seen my daughter marked it with pen by accident and it wiped off leaving no mark. Definitely worth the 499 price tag. Even the cubes and draws are big i was surprised with how deep they are.

Received this bed a few weeks ago. I cannot believe the difference it has made to my daughter's bedroom. The storage unit being removable is great and has been very useful so far for teddy storage. Compatible storage boxes available from Argos (ikea ones are too big) Remaining space under the bed has made a great den for her. We out up some battery powered lights and she loves it. Also put some protective foam to stop head bumps. The height is great and the bed has been able to take mine and my wife's weight no problem. No a groan or creak to be heard which was a worry of ours seeing as she had a low down single bed before that used to struggle (it was rubbish in general). Can't say a single bad word against this product.

This is a really good bed. Well made and sturdy. It doesnt creak when my son climbs around on it and is strong enough that I can lie on it with him if he wants a cuddle. We already had Stompa bunk beds that we knew were sturdy so debated getting a Stompa midsleeper. Im glad we didnt. The quality of this one is just as good (in fact looks no different) and it was much better value for money. It has loads of storage and the drawers and shelves are free standing so can be positioned where you want (desk is fixed and slides in & out). My son has made a den under his and loves it. We paid for the people delivering it to assemble it so I cant comment on how easy it would be to assemble yourself.

Hello, can you tell me whether we can buy it without the storage cube as we don't really need this? Thanks

Answer: If the cube is in the picture it comes with and you cannot separate however there are many different examples of this product online without the cube, if the set up you like best has the cube in the picture then I am really sorry it does come with the bed although you can remove it from the set up if you prefer to.Thank you.

We love this! However we would be looking to build it in the right top corner of room. Looking from foot of the bed, Can ladders be fitted on left side near foot of bed and desk be pulled out to the left at the head end of the bed?

Answer: The ladder can be positioned on the right or left hand side of the bed but is unable to go on the foot end of the bed. In addition, the chest of drawers and storage cubes are free standing units and so can be positioned where desired.

Answer: The internal dimensions for the drawers are: 70 x 37cm x 19cmThe external dimensions for the drawers are: 80cm x 43cm x 71cmThese can be moved from under the bed (as can the desk and box unit) as they are on wheels.Many

I have two questions please: 1) Will the bed with desk extended fit into a space 185cm wide? 2) If no...Can the desk be pushed in to fit as space of 185cm? Would desk still be useable? Thankyou

Answer: The desk pulls out to a maximum of 190cm (including the frame) but can be extended to what width you would like it. It is usable but the work space will obviously be smaller the less you extend from out of the bed.

Is white the only colour this bed comes in - wondering if there is a similar option in light brown please

Answer: The Tinsley Midsleeper is only available in white and is unfortunately not available in any other colour option. The Kenny Midsleeper is a similar style to this frame and is also available in a light brown.

What is weight limit / age limit for bed? In earlier questions your advisors have said Helen-m1 answered children only BUT manny9 said no age limit and currie 7 said sturdy enough to hold an adult. Please can you provide a definitive answer. Thank you

Answer: There is an age limit due to bed frames potentially being unsafe for younger years.All of the bed frames are designed to hold an adult, therefore this bed will be fine for any age.Thank you for your question.

Could you please confirm whether or not the desk and cube storage can be placed in the opposite positions to those pictured ie drawers next to ladder and cube in end of bed as answers so far are conflicting?

Answer: The drawers and cube are freestanding so you will be able to move these how you wish. However we recommend that these are placed as pictured for the most efficient use of space.Many thanks for your question.

How well does the desk move in and out on a carpeted floor compared to a hard surface please?

Answer: I'm afraid we cannot give an definitive answer for this as it would depend on the pile of your carpet - however the desk has been designed to be easily pulled in and out when required. Thanks, Dreams

Are you able to replace the storage cubes with a second set of draws

Answer: Thank you for reaching out with your question. Unfortunately we do not sell the sets of draws separately nor is it possible to order two sets of the draws with the bed itself. .
