Hip Hop Wooden Bed Frame

I bought the king size of this bed frame back in September 2007 (it's now October 2016)and it's still going strong! In fact; I'm leaving this review because until I read Ben's review about his peeling veneers I didn't even think the finish could be veneer. My frame has certainly stood the test of time and it still looks like solid wood! I'm surprised too that his mattress hangs over the edge - perhaps it was one he bought from a Swedish vendor which are slightly different sizes. I say this because; as Simon commented; there is a very slight gap between the edge of the mattress and the inside of the wooden frame. Certainly no overhang! My parents also bought the same bed frame (independently - without any promotion from me) and they have had theirs for a good six years now. The only thing I would highlight is it helps to place rubber pads under each foot if you have wooden floors as this stops the frame from moving. After nine years every now and again I have to tap the side of the headboard to push the dowels back into place - but less frequently with the pads in place. You can buy them online cheaply.

I got this bed in the small double size and it doesn't feel like a small double at all; it feels more like a double when you are laid in it; which I suppose is a good thing. The bed was very simple and straight forward to put together; the process also did not take very long. The bed also seems to be very strong and durable and appears as though it will last a long time; touch wood. My bed also looks a lot better than the one that was in the shop as the wood looks darker and not as shiny; which I prefer. All in all; I have slept in the bed for one night so far and had a great night sleep and didn't want to get out of bed. The delivery was quick; it was scheduled for the afternoon between 12pm and 6pm and was delivered at just after 1pm (which makes a change because everything we normally get delivered doesn't come until the last minute) and the delivery people also took the boxes upstairs to the bedroom. This has been a great purchase and I recommend Bensons For Beds;

We had already bought one as a guest bed. We have oiled hardwood floor boards so we wanted to be able to see them; hence we went for this rather than a divan. Ourselves and guests find it very comfortable. Two years later; we bought another as a guest bed for my mother's house. On both occasions they were easy to put together; slightly more care needed on the wooden floor so as not to scratch the floor boards. Both purchases were King-size with a firmness level 4 mattress; no problems sleeping. Delivery was excellent. The bed comes flat-pack; so is easy for tight access bedrooms. As they are spare beds; I cannot comment on full-usage durability; but they meet our needs and the first bed still looks pristine. Be aware that because it has a frame; it occupies a slightly larger area than a divan.

I originally purchased a Double Hip Hop bed back in 2008 for my teenage daughters room and then added bedside tables and tall boy; all items are still perfect but when she moved out they were so good she wanted to take them with her! Apart from excellent value for money the bed frame and drawers were sturdy and looked good quality so I have bought two more double beds for our guest rooms. I am sorry to hear about Ben's experience with his bed but I can only speak from my experience and these beds are modern; well made and and last the time.

We bought the double frame to replace a divan base and I absolutely love it! Very well made; no wobbling and everything lines up perfectly. There are 'hidden' legs down the centre of the bed for extra sturdiness and it was easy to put together for two people. It looks fantastic and goes really well with our current (mismatched) wooden furniture. Not only does this bed look lovely; but the nice curved edges mean no bruises if you accidentally walk into the corner in the dark! I would definately recommend this frame.

Lovely solid bed. I bought this for my daughter as her first big bed, loved the rounded edges so she cant hurt herself on a sharp corner. Plus its not too high off the ground that its not a big drop if she falls out, which she has managed to do already. Easy and straight forward to put together. The only negative is the metal frame the bed slats are attached to then isnt fixed to the bed, so it does slide around. Once the mattress is on it doesnt tend to move, but may need some screwing down later on.

It seems you either love this bed frame or hate it! Personally we love it. Bought for my tall teenage son and it never creaks or moves and although initially alarmed that the slats don't fix to the frame they have never moved; shaken or wobbled about. Which brings me to think that it's all in the building; my son and I spent some time making sure that the bed was perfectly square and lined up correctly before we tightened any of the bolts up and it is absoloutely solid and he gets a good nights sleep.

Great beds which look fantastic and are really solid; at a great price! We have 4 of the single beds and use them in holiday lets; so they do get a lot of use. We've had no problems with them at all and have been asked where we got them; because our guests love them so much. With regards to the review about nuts coming loose; we haven't had any creaking or issues with this; but ours are the single beds which maybe are different. Highly recommended and we are about to buy 2 more!

We have had this bed a good while now; the frame itself is sturdy and easy to assemble. However the veneer comes off which is very disappointing. We now have to purchase another bed as this does not look attractive. I would also suggest that it feels very small in length and width compared to out her double beds we have had. It is a shame as the bed looks great in the shop; I'm just glad I didn't buy the matching furniture otherwise replacing would be an expensive job!

Bought these for my sons when they moved from cots into proper beds; they were easy to assemble and the rounded corners and light coloured wood make them ideal for children. The wish bones make for a very comfy; supported feel under the mattress; they feel exceptionally sturdy and well made; I'm sure they'll last for years. Delivery was quick; liked being kept informed of delivery date & time; price was excellent as purchased in the sale. Would definitely recommend.

This will go down as one of my best buys ever. Great product; great price. Quality. If you want a sturdy standardly stylish bed; this fits the bill. Bought it with the Silentnight micro pocket double bed. Amazing comfort 1000 total well worth it. Downsides...hmmm; well I do hit my leg every now and again on the frame getting off the bed from the bottom end; but that's just me being silly. Had it for 3 months now...no regrets 0% finance...paid off now anyways.

My son is extremely pleased with this bed and we were very impressed with the quality and design of the 4'6" double bed frame. It was delivered very quickly; exactly on time as specified. The drivers were very friendly and helpful and the packaging was very good indeed. No damage; no broken parts; nothing missing. What more could you ask for. I would certainly deal with this company again; could not fault anything. Excellent service from start to finish!!

This seems a very good purchase, it looks very smart in the room. It is for a guest bed so has not been tried out yet. I had to assemble it, and found it quite difficult to push the little plastic lugs holding the slats into place. In the end I used my trusty rubber mallet but had to hit them quite hard. Luckily none broke, although they do include spares. Nothing was missing from the kit and it arrived in good condition.

Firstly the positive. It looks nice when it is built. Don't be deceived by the look of this frame. It is poor quality "wood" covered in a veneer finish. Easy enough to assemble but fingers the size of a 5 year old would be handy for the fiddly bits. We bought this for occassional use in our spare bedroom because we liked the finished look. Not sure if it would be sturdy enough to withstand daily use over a period of time.

Got this bed as a replacement for my son after he grew out of his cot bed. Arrived missing a slate that was replaced by customer services. However the frame has had excess glue on the solid Ash that I've rectified myself. This was followed up with Bensons and after 3 weeks I'm no closer to a resolution. Not impressed. Overall a good quality product but has quality issue and the customer service offered has been poor.

This arrived today; had text confirming delivery and a personal call from delivery people to ask if they could deliver early as in the area. My 18 year old took delivery and they took it up to his room. By the time I got home from work he had built it. He said it went together easily and with other pieces of matching furniture from the range it looks really good. Very pleased with our purchase

Our cats had ripped our old divan bed to shreds so we decided to replace it with a wooden frame. This Hip Hop frame is inexpensive but a great choice. It is very stable. It does not creak when we roll over in our sleep and we can now get out of bed without waking each other. It is a nice modern design too which suits our decor. Of course; the best thing is that our cats don't scratch it.

I have had my bed frame for over a year. Amazing quality and very sturdy. I looked at the reviews before I bought the bed and I wasn't to sure. The people who delivered the bed frame were very nice and helped me put it up to my room. very easy and quick to assemble even alone. I bought this bed in small double. feels like a double bed. I recommend getting this bed its worth it!!

I bought this bed for my daughter after some first class service from a sales lady whose customer service was exceptional. The bed arrived on time; and as promised BfB kept me informed of times etc. on the run up to delivery. It's a lovely bed frame; really solid and great quality. It was extremely easy to put together and overall I'm delighted with it.

I would highly recommend this bed frame. I was slightly deterred by some of the reviews but I was pleased to find that this bed frame is of good quality; easy to put together and seems very sturdy and well made. It also really gives that Skandi feel which I love and it is excellent value for money when compared to other wooden bed frames i have looked at.

lovely looking bed, not too tricky to construct EXCEPT the instructions are in the wrong order unless your bedroom is enormous! Would be much better to construct the inner frame and slats first (put against wall) then make the frame, if you follow the instructions and make the frame first, you have no-where to make the inner frame!

Having built many similar type products for display purposes with another retailer I was very impressed with the quality and ease of construction. The bed was bought for our 18 year old student son and he has barely got out of it since returning home for Christmas so I think that gives it glowing praise as well as the mattress.

Fantastic Bedframe; do not be put off by the other reviews written bout the "Metal" base; they may be confused with cheap imitations. I have two of these for spare rooms and have had my son back from uni for 8 months and sleeping in one of them and it has stood the test. It is a great bedframe and excellent value for money.

Delivery in less than 5 days from date purchased from Store; 2 polite phone calls to confirm date and time of delivery. Actual delivery was spot on time; packaged really really well. Very easy to assemble even on my own!!! vey sturdy solid bed; looks great and well made; would highly reccomend; even when at full price!

Very pleased with this small double bedframe,straightforward to put together.This is one of the sturdy bedframes we found in this price range after quite a lot of searching.Good centre support structure and solid platform slats.The bedframe has been up for a month,great frame and happy to recommend with 5 *

Good bedframe; the style is just what I want. Easy to order at my local store and friendly sales person. What let it down was that in single the black frame is not attached to bed rails and is lose; I didn't think I could sleep on this so had to get someone in to do a quick job on the bedframe.

The bed that's bliss- This is a real gem great value for money, easy assemble, and a joy to any home - from ordering to delivery no one worked harder than the great team of Bensons good courteous service - would I order again you bet! Well done great to have something positive in these times.

I bought the Hip Hop bedstead and I am so glad I did, its lovely to look at, also, with the spring slat boards is so comfortable. The bedstead makes no sound, no creaky noises. It really is an excellent piece of furniture and that's why I recommend it to anyone looking for a wooden bedstead

Bought as a spare bed for a new house but we have been using as our bed has been delayed. My husband put together, took about an hour as lots of pieces but looks really good. Solid and sturdy looks very smart and minimalist and very comfortable. Would definitely recommend as good value.

bought this in a Small Double to fit small bedroom. It is excellent value for money and very well finished. Was delivered within a time slot of two hours. Received a phone call to say they were five minutes away. Came flat packed but was so easy to assemble. Looks really great

Shocking customer service. Which was expected due to my experience buying the mattress. my bed frame was delivered without the lats so Im unable to rate the comfort as my matress is still on the floor several months later. Would not recommend this company to anyone!

Bought the single bed for my son; really easy to assemble; ordered online; delivery and service exactly as promised. The finish is really good; and for a wooden bed is not too chunky; photos don't really do it justice. Eldest son is interested in the small double now!

Reasonably easy to put together. The bed slats are attached to the frame with plastic clips that you have to force to clip to the frame. Needed hubby to do these because some of them needed alot of umph to get them to clip. Looks lovely and son very pleased with it.

Bed is an easy build; took less than an hour. Has an inside metal fram amd middle strengtheners; so is alot sturdier than other wooden bed frame. Bed frame is also solid wood. We bought with the orthopedic mattress; which is very comfy. Absolutely would recommend

The bed frame is string, well made and easy to assemble and was excellent value in the sale. People should note it is quite long as the head and foot boards are thick. The diagram on the web site is incorrect as dimension C should be D and C a bad E are not given.

The product is good, I have marked it low as the Mattress does not fit within the frame, it is not resting on the slats as it should be. This is a king size bed and the mattress I purchased is a king size. I would welcome feed back from Bensons for Beds

First night in my new bed. Professional salesmen - really helpful; and excellent delivery service. The bed was easy to put together; (even by women-haha) and tools were included. Looks good in my room - smart and well finished. So far so good.........

So glad I got this; quality frame; easy to assemble. Delivery wasnt as flexible as advertised; but that morning; curtsy phone call hours before saying they were on their way with spot on estimated time. Delivery guys were amazing. Hence 5 stars.

So far so good. Professional; enthusiastic salesperson; polite; efficient delivery team and sturdy; good looking bed. You generally get what you pay for but; in this instance; everything about the whole experience belies the (for a bed) low price.

Very pleased with quality of this bed frame. Put together in less than 2 hours. Bit fiddly but with two people made it easier. Frame is shorter than base but with heavy mattress it dies not appear to be a problem. Delivered as agreed and on time.

What a great looking bed! the wooden frame is very high quality. It takes a while to build and you will need 2 people for some of it - but a really good design and it feels really sturdy. Looks exceptionally good with the matching bedside tables.

I bought two of these beds; my son bought 2 (one double and one small double; my daughter bought the single version I believe.. I am about to order yet another. They look Scandinavian; with clean lines; good colour and the headboard is fine.

Such a good quality bed, we are so happy with it! Heavy/sturdy enough and assembling was quite easy. Love how the slats click in individually so you dont have to worry about them falling through like some beds Ive bought in the past!

Very decent bed for the price, very easy to put together, even for one person it takes less than an hour and the instructions are easy to follow. Am very pleased with it, good quality, and cannot find anything negative to say. Recommended!

Good quality of wood , mattress is excellent choice for our mum , she is 86 and couldnt be any happier with benson of beds . We have her other bed which she also bought from your company . Happy all round with benson of beds .

Bought this bed online and when it arrived it looked better than I remembered. Love the chunky frame that gives it the quality finish. Bought the small double that fits the room well and perfect for my nearly teenage son. Really love it.

Really very pleased & happy with this bed,so glad I did a test on the bed before I purchased it. I would recommend ok people do it before they buy. Happy with the price & with the delivery of my bed. Thank you.Would recommend your store.

Looks good and it was easy to put up. My only negative is that my mattress covers a lot of the headboard and its not a particularly deep mattress. It would have been nicer to have a taller headboard so you can see the nice design more

This bed is great value for money and looks strong and sturdy. Room to store crates underneath, which is great in a small room. Very helpful staff and the bed arrived exactly when they said it would. Not too difficult to put together.

Bought a few years ago and still like new. The quality is very good and it's very sturdy. We also purchased matching bedside table and a set of draws and they are equally as good quality. Overall very satisfied and would recommend.

Relatively easy to put together, the slats are very thin so I'm not sure how long they will last and I dont like how the over all piece where the slats are move and doesn't attach to the frame. Otherwise, the shell looks great.

Had this bed delivered yesterday; the service from start to finish was excellent the delivery drivers were really great (Alex and Paul). Managed to build it in just over an hour on my own; simple and clear instructions :)

I was so impressed with this double bed, when we decorated the box room I bought a single hip hop bed. My older child liked it so much she asked for a small double for her room, they are really good sturdy beds.

Our fist offering was very second hand and we had to have it replaced. The replacement was a lot better but still had a small dent in the headboard. Pity; as it's lovely stuff and fundamentally well engineered.

This bed is simple to put together & is very comfortable & sturdy. This is the 2nd one I have bought for my house, Ive had the other one for 7yrs & still looks great & has never shown any signs of weekness

Love this bed was very easy to put together nice quality and look and the small double is a great option for a growing teenger or if you just don't have a massive room my son loves his would recommend.

Bought this for my son; who is a sturdy lad. He finds it very comfy; with an ikea sultan mattress on it. Very solid; strong; looks nice; easily put together.Thinking of getting the double for myself.

When I got this delivered the box was damaged when I was building it up the wood frame was damaged in 2 places wasnt very chuffed with it being damaged for the amount of money I paid for this

Kudos to Benson for Beds. You are simply amazing. Customer service is second to none and the product if also of great quality.. Value for money. I will 100% recommend to all my network groups.

I have just written a critical delivery review but the quality of the bed when it did finally arrive is another story. The bed is really well made, comfortable and was easy to assemble.

This review is based on the bed I received. Damaged! I have two more of these beds and both are grea The damage to the bed is not much and against the wall but the isnt the point t

Great bed frame, no screws showing, beautifully made, nearly twice as many slats as similar makes, you definitely get your moneys worth but best of all not one single squeak

Excellent purchase. Great value for money and looks great. Delivery was excellent and on time. Communication also excellent so we knew to within the hour our delivery time.

Bought this double bed for my son. Can honestly say that it is a fantastic; sturdy bed and was so simple and easy to put together. Would recommend to anyone. Great product

The bed purchased is solid, I was able to construct it by myself within 40 minutes. Instructions were clear and easy to follow. Am extremely satisfied with the quality.

Extremely pleased with the quality and style of this bed - it's great looking and easy to put together. Great value, it looks a lot more expensive than it actually is.

Bed frame looks great and was easy enough to put together. Instructions were clear and simple. It's comfortable and so far has remained structurally sound. Very happy.

Purchased one of these 3 years ago for our Guest House; now retired brought one for our retirement. built in under a hour by 2 of us. looks great nice and solid.

The mattress is very comfortable and the pillows are excellent. Ive been looking for pillows as good as these for years. They are the side-sleeper ones.

This is a second one Ive purchased of this bed now for spare room, as its a good price and has lasted very well its a sturdy bed and a great price

Good quality and instructions clear and simple. The bolts were difficult to access to tighten but that was the only issue. Mattress is very comfortable.

Slats have several times dropped out when in use. Jury definitely still out. Great look and solid frame. Slat security has been an issue so far though.

Basic frame but very sturdy and neat looking - purchased in white. Good space underneath for storage, this was important to me. Great value for money!

We were very satisfied with the double bedframe that we had bought previously so were happy to buy the same design when we needed a single bedframe.

A beautiful looking bed. Great value for money. Delivered quickly and lots of communication up to when need arrived. Also very easy to put together.

A friend whose a bedroom fitter on seeing the hip hop it's a well made quality product. I've bought three more for the spare rooms and so did he

Solid and nice looking frame. Excellent service in store when ordering and courteous delivery driver; on time and very efficient!! Thankyou all.

Great frame. Excellent service from malcolm in kingston and the drivers were very efficient and on time. Definitely recomend bensons for beds.

Brilliant bed. Modern great quality and looks really good in my son's bedroom. So pleased with it and with the quality of service from Bensons

The bed was easy to put together and looks good and stable. Little disappointed with gap at end of bed but apart from that was a good service.

Nice bed - still taking a bit if getting used to the mattress. Bought 2 pillows at 45 each and they are terribly hard and cant use them.

Just purchased for my son very easy to put together; sturdy; well made; brought with sealy mattress told me very comfortable nights sleep

excellent quality easy assembly went to purchase a freezer from currys and just popped in and could not resist we never got our freezer

Sturdy, simple to construct enhancing the bedroom. White finish was ordered. Beautifully made. Highly satisfactory in every aspect.

No hassle delivery, well packaged, straight forward to put together and good quality, sturdy design, looks great in daughters bedroom

Good quality bed frame, with only some minor finishing faults. Easily assembled and very robust once put together. Looks very good.

Bought this bed in my local Bensons store after reading other reviews. Was not disappointed good solid bed and got it at sale price.

Brilliant solid frame bed easy to build and matches my room great .. Reccomend this great deal my boyfriend has just bought one too

Bought 2 double beds one for my son and daughter; excellent quality; very well made and very good service. Would recommend highly.

Very impressed with this bed; good value for money and very easy to assemble the bed frame is well made; would recommend this bed

Superb bed; very robust :) easy to put together; LOVE the wide strut across the headboard - perfect for ipod unit and cup of tea.

Very happy with this well made bed! Looks great and easy to put together. Built it with my Dad but probably could be done alone.

Beautiful bed! I used solid slats from previous bed as not keen on flimsy plywood, 2 part slats it comes with. My son loves it!

Good quality bed at a very affordable price. Have purchased four of these now for the kids and they're delighted with the beds.

Great delivery service, they took it upstairs for me. Easy to put together in less than an hour. Very sturdy and looks great

Bought this bed 8 years ago; I was looking for a nice high; solid bed as I have arthritis in my knees .I coud'nt be happier!

Delighted with the value and quality. Lovely solid bed; beautifully finished. Exceedingly easy to put together. Delighted.

Beautiful bed surround. Excellent quality and easy to assemble. Very happy with our purchase and would highly recommend

The bed was easy to put together and didnt take too long. Its sturdy and looks really good! Id highly recommend.

Exactly as smart and sturdy as expected. Not yet used and using a mattress from elsewhere so unable to rate the comfort.
