Both the Black Faux Leather Gas Lift Ottoman Bed from The Range and the Estella Upholstered Ottoman Bed Frame from Wayfair offer stylish and functional options for a king-size bed. However, there are some key differences to consider when comparing these two products.

Firstly, the Black Faux Leather Gas Lift Ottoman Bed features a sleek and modern design with a black faux leather finish. This gives it a more contemporary look compared to the Estella Upholstered Ottoman Bed, which has a more traditional and elegant appearance with its upholstered headboard and curved edges.

In terms of storage, both beds offer a gas lift ottoman mechanism, allowing for easy access to the underbed storage space. However, the Black Faux Leather Gas Lift Ottoman Bed has a larger storage capacity compared to the Estella Upholstered Ottoman Bed, making it a better option for those who need extra space for storing bedding or other items.

When it comes to durability, the Black Faux Leather Gas Lift Ottoman Bed may have an advantage as it is made from faux leather, which is known for its durability and easy maintenance. On the other hand, the Estella Upholstered Ottoman Bed is made from fabric, which may be more susceptible to wear and tear over time.

In terms of assembly, the Black Faux Leather Gas Lift Ottoman Bed may be easier to put together as it comes with clear instructions and all the necessary tools. The Estella Upholstered Ottoman Bed may require more time and effort to assemble, as it comes with more pieces and may be more complex.

One potential advantage of the Estella Upholstered Ottoman Bed is its headboard, which provides added comfort and support while sitting up in bed. The Black Faux Leather Gas Lift Ottoman Bed does not come with a headboard, which may be a drawback for those who like to read or watch TV in bed.

Overall, both the Black Faux Leather Gas Lift Ottoman Bed and the Estella Upholstered Ottoman Bed offer practical and stylish options for a king-size bed. However, the Black Faux Leather Gas Lift Ottoman Bed may be a better choice for those looking for a modern and spacious storage solution, while the Estella Upholstered Ottoman Bed may appeal more to those who prioritize comfort and traditional design. Ultimately, the decision between these two products will depend on the individual’s personal preferences and needs.

This is an incredibly contemporary and stylish bed from Dwell. I built one this morning and it looks fabulous.

The instructions for assembly leave a lot to be desired though. The main idea is that you build the bed base and build the head board and then slot the two pieces together. Nothing wrong with that you may think but there is. Due to its weight you need two people to lift the head board and probably a third person to line up the bolts and dowels, which need to come together at a handy 45 degree angle. Now bearing in mind there are three bolts and three dowels on each side, even if you were to attempt this it would be fraught,  since I doubt both sides would line up nicely and you would need a decent amount of lateral force as well as downward force to bring the two pieces together.

In my opinion the correct way to build this is using my standard “let gravity do the work for you” approach and build it in a logical manner piece by piece. This was the first one I had seen and it took my 90 minutes but I think second time around I could build it in about an hour on my own, yes on my own.

I’ll be writing some instructions on how to do this with photos and so on which will be available soon at Dwell Furniture Help.

The bed however is beautiful, the finish is glossy, expensive and ultra-glamorous.
