So sturdy and so easy to assemble! We love this bed! So affordable and well made!! Couldn't be happier!! Show details
I am happy with the discount. The delivery was quick (next day). I am happy with the environmentally responsible packaging (all recyclable). I am happy with the solidity of construction. I am happy with the ease of assembly. I’m not happy with the alignment. The frame wasn’t square. However the bed is rock solid. No squeaks or creaks. No disturbances to partners when getting in and out of bed or rolling over. Show details
This was the easiest, fastest assembly of any piece of furniture that I have ever assembled - in fact, it took me more time to remove the packaging than it did to assemble the bed. I did it on my own in about 12 minutes, no tools required, and I never had to look at the instructions. I purchased the Balmain bed after buying a cheap frame that… Read more
squeaked if I so much as breathed too heavy (and took me about 5 hours of swearing to assemble). Had this new bed squeaked even a tiny bit, I would have returned it. But it is incredibly solid, totally soundless and as I said, was an absolute breeze to assemble. I considered the Sleeping Duck bed (as I have a Sleeping Duck mattress which I LOVE!) but the price was higher than I was willing to go. I also purchased the floating side tables. While ideally I would like bigger tables, my bedroom is very narrow, so these were a great solution to my space problem, as they allow me to have something either side of the bed. I am very happy with my purchase and feel like the price is very fair. Unrelated to the bed itself, which I happily give 5 stars, delivery communication could have been better - despite phoning direct, no one could provide me with a more accurate delivery than "between 7am and 5pm." It was only on the day, about 30 minutes before it was delivered, that the driver phoned to say he was on his way.
Quick, simple, elegant – Fast, efficient delivery. High quality materials. Incredibly easy to put together. No tools required, all pieces easily slide into each other. Best sleep I've had in years. Show details
Excellent bed – This was so easy to put together, purchased as a first bed for my son and the quality is amazing. Feels sturdy and heavy, no freaking at all and I love the minimalist wood design. Show details

Really love how it is modular, really good design thinking behind it, was super easy to put them together all by myself. Solid wood not veneer sh*t. I ended up adding side tables looking more contemporary!
We love our new bed! We upgraded to this king bed and event thought the mattress is bigger, as the design is so compact it actually takes less space in our room than our old queen bed. Assembly was super easy.
Lovely timber, a classic and timeless addition to my home. The design is actually better than the picture here - instead of a central leg on the base, there is a sturdy metal rod that runs the length of the bed for stability. This is much kinder to carpet if you're moving the bed, plus it allows uninterrupted storage underneath. I love this bed, would recommend. Show details
I love how minimalistic the Balmain bed base is. The clean lines and simple design make it feel modern without dominating the room. Assembly was incredibly easy. Everything slotted together intuitively with no tools, and it was set up very quickly. Despite that, it feels solid and well made once assembled. Overall, it’s a great combination of… Read more
style, simplicity, and practicality, and I’d happily recommend it to anyone looking for a fuss-free bed base from Koala.
Bed frame looks great and was easy to set up. We found ir quite easy to knock out the little connecting area since it just slides in without tools though - have to be careful when trying to move the bed, don’t drag it. Otherwise it’s exactly what we wanted! Show details
Great bed base so easy to assemble, it was quick and effortless! Looks great and I was so happy it arrived the same day, wonderful experience using Koala. Thank you & highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Show details
Why I love the base? Because I put it together in 10 minutes. I can disassemble in 10 minutes. Being nimble is important to me. It is sturdy doesn’t squeak or rock and the material doesn’t complain because it it is made so exacting. Plus - I like the simplicity of the design. Show details

The bed base is stylish and relatively easy for 1 person to assemble - I was done within 30 minutes. Definitely a time save when you're moving into a new home. Most of the bed is covered by the mattress, so cleaning is just a matter of dusting the headboard top. Show details
We love the style and color, the delivery was quick and the bed is so easy to assemble, the only drawback is the bed frame doesn’t feel very sturdy, maybe because how it was assembled (by putting pins into holes and push down, so when you want to lift the bed frame and move it to the proper position in the bedroom, the rails get disattached from… Read more
the end rail or headboard) but normally you don’t need to move the bed often once you put on the mattress, so it’s okay for me
When we first got the boxes we had a wrong size piece which was replaced very quickly ( few days later) so was very happy with how quickly the wrong piece was replaced. Once we had the correct pieces it was very quick to put together. We have been using it for over 6 months now and it still looks great, no squeaks, seems solid still and works… Read more
like it should. I also love it is easy to vacuum under. So overall a great frame, great customer service we experienced and we are happy with this product.
Ease and quality – The bed frame is sturdy and easy to assemble. Took me no longer than 10 minutes to assemble it all. And once assembled I could feel the quality of the bed. Show details
A perfect fit – Fantastic bedframe! Super easy to assemble, and fits the aesthetic of my bedroom perfectly. I'm in love! Will definitely purchase from Koala again in the future. Show details
Smooth and simple beautiful bed base – Easy assembly, no tools required! The side panels needed a firmer pat to get into place, and we had to swap them around a bit to get a proper fit. Otherwise a smooth and quick process to put it together, the wood is excellent quality and it looks great in the room! Show details
So easy to put together – Sensational bed, so easy to put together. It looks incredible all set up and only took a few minutes to put together. I would highly recommend buying the matching bedside tables as well, really finishes off the whole look. Show details
Our most comfy bed – We love our Balmain bed base, it’s solid, beautiful, my son sleeps very comfortably at night, and it’s big enough for two people. It was a great purchase. Show details
Bed Base Blues? No More! – I’ve only ever put together one other bed base before.. it took three people and half a day. When I saw the “no tools” for this Balmain bed base i thought it might be a little too good to be true. Absolutely wrong! The hardest part was literally just getting it out of the box (obviously not that hard but you get my point) it genuinely took all of… Read more
maybe 15 minutes to assemble and it was done. I had my partner to help me as I thought it might take a bit of man power but I blinked at it was together before i had even finished the youtube video for putting it together! I also love the slats weirdly - I hate the flimsy ones beds normally come with. Also taking it apart is going to be so easy and I don’t think many furniture places think about that kind of thing. It doesn’t creek at all! Extremely Impressive, I’ll be recommending it to all my friends :)

Koala Balmain Queen bed base – Quicker to unpack and assemble with 2 people Love the packaging as it's eco friendly Koala made sure that all the items are fully protected as no damages was seen from the furniture delivered. Solid wood, easy to follow instructions for assembly Show details
Wonderful brand with wonderful products – I really love the natural look of this bed base but most of all the simple steps of assembling it, as well as the access to clean underneath it when vacuuming. I will definitely recommend this product and use Koala for future necessary products. Show details
Fantastic purchase! – We are delighted with our purchase. Love that we could select our delivery day and it came on that day. It was so easy to put together with easy to follow instructions. It is a beautiful bed that looks lovely in the room! Show details
Amazing quality, wish I had bought sooner! – This bed is the best bed frame I have owned, it’s sturdy, so easy to put together, postage was very quick. I didn’t receive my gum nuts and had to speak to customer service to arrange them to be sent out, the lady I spoke to was so kind and very helpful! Show details
Rapid delivery for KS Balmain bed – My 2yo daughters cot broke and we had to order something new fast, so upgraded her early to the Koala Balmain bed and mattress. The order went in at 2pm and by 5pm it was at our door. We were gobsmacked. It was so easy and fast to put together and even though there was a manufacturing fault, and it couldnt be properly used that night, we could… Read more
talk to them that night to get the replacement part within 2 days. The mattress is comfy and im a little bit envious. I've since purchased the cute side table for the bed and she's sleeping in style!
Simple stylish Balmain bed – I love my bed it’s so simple yet stylish , and it was so easy to put together ! The quality is amazing and I was happy with the whole process of communication with delivery and fast as well. Show details
Easy to assemble – The longest part of assembling was taking it out of the box. It took 15 minutes to assemble once unpacked, the instructions and video were excellent. The bed base changed the whole feel of our bedroom for the better, we still have some clearance for under bed storage which is increasingly rare. No creaking at all, very happy with cost, ease of assembly and aesthetic. Show details
