I've spent a lot of time in the mattress and bedding sector, and I see it as my job to offer in-depth reviews so you can make informed decisions while shopping. So, I'm bringing you an extensive review of the Margot Kids Upholstered Bed Frame with Storage. An upholstered piece that merges function, style, and comfort, beautifully brought to life for the little ones.
How we tested
Our review process is built on integrity and attention to detail. While our testing did not involve an at-home trial, we spent adequate time with the product in the store, scrutinising each aspect underlined in the product's specification. I ran my hand over the teddy fabric and gave the frame a good wobble test, it felt solid and nicely finished. We examined its structural integrity, comfort level, storage capability, and aesthetics. We also took into consideration customer feedback and our personal observations to deliver a balanced review.
Design and features
The Margot Kids Upholstered Bed Frame is thoughtfully designed, offering a comfortable and stylish sleeping solution for your little ones. Dressed fully in a teddy fabric, it stands out with its neutral grey tones and soft curves at the headboard and foot end. The bed features a large end drawer, perfect for hiding away toys or storing bedding. I pulled the drawer in and out a few times and it moved smoothly enough, with a decent amount of space for day-to-day bits. Designed in collaboration with House Beautiful, it aligns perfectly with modern aesthetic standards while promising a cosy spot for the young ones. Keeping comfort at the forefront, the Margot Kids bed is equipped with sprung slats for extra mattress support.
Construction
Though aesthetically pleasing, the Margot bed requires a significant amount of assembly. Consisting of multiple parts, it requires two people and about 1.5 hours of assembly. However, this one-time effort pays off given the bed's sturdy construction, high-quality materials and thorough instructions provided.
Suitability
The Margot Kids bed is particularly suitable for kids aged six and above due to its size and design. However, it may not be an ideal choice for younger children or for smaller rooms due to its bulky design. The bed is constructed to be paired with a UK standard single mattress with a maximum depth of 15cm, which may restrict mattress choices. The large drawer beneath the bed is 17cm deep, offering ample storage.
The drawer
The end drawer is the reason to pick this over a plain frame. At 52 by 77cm, it takes a spare duvet set, pillows or a stack of winter jumpers, and it opens from the foot end, so it still works with the bed pushed against a wall.
The verdict
The Margot Kids Upholstered Bed Frame provides a comfortable and stylish sleeping solution for the kids but needs fair space to fit well in a room. Its thoughtful design and multi-purpose drawer make it a worthy investment. However, its assembly time, age limit, and high maintenance requirement are factors to consider before making this purchase. With that in mind, the Margot Kids bed is an excellent choice if you want elegance, comfort, and storage function in a single piece of bedroom furniture.
