Hip Hop Ash Wooden Bed Frame

"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,"

"In order to be fair, I should point out the positives. The Hip Hop bed frame is attractive and provides a comfortable nights sleep. I should also say that it represents good value for money - albeit with a caveat. My main concern is in its construction, which although it appears solid, may give rise to problems. Whilst I have owned this bed frame for four years or so, it has always been slightly creaky. Having recently moved house, I noted that one of the nuts and bolts that hold the frame together was loose. This later caused the bed to collapse when I sat down on it! I discovered that this was as a consequence of the self tapping nut/bolt being pulled from the frame. I attempted to screw the nut back in, but once the wood has been stripped the problem reoccurs. This left me with a bed frame that potentially may need to be thrown away. In short, the frame represents good value over the time that I have owned it, but rather short lived by other standards."

"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."

"Purchased this bed for my 9 year old son & I am absolutely disgusted with the service from Bensons Beds. The hip hop bedstead was faulty on arrival & really bad workmanship. Bensons Beds arranged for a replacement & again the bed was faulty. I have now asked for a full refund & have been offered no compensation for the inconvenience of waiting for deliveries & cost of phone calls & still having to wait a 3rd time for the bed to be collected & then go into the shop for a full refund. As a result I will never shop with Bensons beds again. Really disappointed & horrendous customer experience journey. "

"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."

"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."

"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 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."

"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."

"Weve had this bed for a little over three years now and to date have been very pleased with it. The truckle is very sturdy and we had no complaints until now. its like the glue holding the veneer has suddenly given up and it's all starting to peel. Very disappointing. Would only recommend this bed if you only want it to look good for three years or less."

"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!"

"Initially a great bed. However a few years on, the plastic supports which hold the wooden slats have all become brittle and snapped. The bed has only been used 3x week with a light 9 stone on it. I am waiting to hear from Bensons For Bed's customer services to see if they can replace the plastic supports"

"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. "

"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 "

"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!"

"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 "

"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........."

"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. "

"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. "

"So glad I got this, quality frame, easy to assemble. Delivery wasn’t 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."

"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. "

"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. "

"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."

"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 :) "

"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."

"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."

"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"
