After installing them it was apparent that stability is not a hallmark of these risers. As we moved the bed back into place against the wall, the legs would tilt slightly. Even after getting the bed in place and kicking the risers back into position, if you rocked the bed you could sense that it wasn't 100% stable. At this point I'm still considering sending them back, but the bed hasn't 'crashed' yet. We'll see. I grew up in a family of carpenters. Here are my observations/suggestions: 1. The 'pocket' the legs of the bed sit in is not deep enough. It needs to be at least 4 inches deep for a riser that is 20+ inches tall. While this will impact how high the bed goes, you either build the riser longer to accommodate, or accept a slightly lower profile. 2. There should be twice as many screw holes and screws securing the riser to the bedpost, four high and four low set 2-3 inches apart vertically, to ensure that the riser can't move as these did. I know the metal plate inserts are supposed to stabalize this, but four more holes and screws couldn't hurt. 3. I would also include adjustable cross beams ( X )at the head and foot of the bed, or a single beam ( @-@ ) that uses a 2-4 inch 'collar' that would slide over the riser and screw into place to make the headboard and footboard risers two very stable, free-standing units. 4. For additional stability you could add a single, level 'collar' beam front-to-back, probably at 16-18 inches high, because of that higher center of gravity, that could be used on the side of the bed facing the wall. Then the entire frame would stand on it's own and be far more stable. 4. Optional: Include thick metal or wood 'spacers' to be placed in the risers for those rectangular or smaller square bedpost beds that might need them. This would make these risers far more marketable. Suggestions 1, 2, and 4 shouldn't noticeably raise the cost. If you want to keep close to your current price point, you could even sell Suggestion 3 as a separate 'upgrade' kit. If you need some rough drawings to show visually what I'm describing, let me know.

My order came pretty quick but I bought a bed skirt and the length measurement was wrong and it came with stains all over it.

I ordered a twin XL bedding while on dormco. I got it very quickly and it can in good packaging. However, I was very disappointed to find what I ordered looked nothing like the picture online. I was not the right size either and was way less poofy than the online image and overall just bad quality. I also learned their returns aren’t free even though I didn’t receive what the picture online was. I would like to return it and should be able to do so for free since it looks nothing like the online picture.

Packages came separately and took a long time to arrive

There was serval pieces of the item that I ordered busted, chipped and broken when I received it therefore my daughter wasn’t able to use it in here dorm room

It took awhile to receive my order which is fine however the sheet set I ordered was not included even though it was shown listed. I called 2x over 2 days and never did speak to anyone. Finally received an email saying they received the message but no date when I can expect to receive what I already paid for.

I was devastated to receive the trunk that I ordered damaged. The trunk was beautiful and as shown on the website however, all items I purchased were shipped inside of the Storage trunk and the lock was broken upon arrival to my home as a result of this. Unfortunately, my son left for college the following day and I had no time to make any adjustments.

My poster arrived with a crushed mailing tube with a 45% bend in it. It was very difficult to retrieve the poster without unraveling the tube-which I did- to find the poster somewhat damaged-not worth framing for me. Actually the tube itself was quite sturdy so the bend must have come via transport. In any case, I believe it was not DormCo's issue, but I wasn't home when it was delivered. It did come First Class, however. Thanks!
