Looking to buy a king bed frame with gas lift. Snooze ones seem to run about $2500.
Came across Artiss (being sold through Myer and Bunnings) for approx $450.
Does anyone have this bed frame and can attest to the quality? Surely there's some shortcuts being taken if they are literally $2000 cheaper than a snooze. I know it says "faux linen" fabric but that doesn't really matter (who touches their bed frame?)
cheers.
I've seen some really bad reviews for artiss furniture. I've decided for anything that's going to be supporting my body daily I'm going to ignore all "online only" items and only buy things I can see and verify and test in-store.
I don't think it's worth the savings for a bed. Splash out on something comfy!
Gas lifts are the pits, regardless of brand. If you have the room for drawers, go that option and look for fully enclosed base to stop the dust getting in.
wouldn't that raise the risk of mould? i thought the point of bedframes was to allow airflow underneath the mattress, i have a mate who lives with a friend and he was talking about how his housemate was always getting sick, turn out the bedframe was mouldy because of a lack of airflow, though that was because it was a small room that always had the doors and windows shut, but if you are blocking the air flowing underneath the bed, wouldn't it cause the same problem?
Well I mean if it’s always damp and humid in there maybe? Put some of those desiccant boxes in each drawer should address the problem..
Or dehumidifier.
Even cheaper to open the windows midday for 2 hours every weekend.
small room that always had the doors and windows shut
That would help the mould.
it would, regardless, i think the point of bedframes is to allow airflow under the mattress, so that it doesn't get mouldy.
Artiss furniture, 99% of the time a no!
Check out the Ebay reviews under OzPlaza. If things go wrong they'll offer you money compensation rather than a return. A lot of help if you can't use the product. It happened to me too.
I have one of the older artiss ones with gas lift as the misso wanted storage under bed. Seriously, spend the dosh for drawers if you want practical storage imo and something that doesn’t use the cheapest trash wooden slats on the market.
I mean technically it goes together but even with all the bits done up as tight as possible it still creaks and groans as I roll off and on the bed. I’m just under 100kg on average.
Surprisingly the pu bed head and trims is still intact. But that’s to be expected as you don’t actually usually come in contact with them.
