*Themaximum score is 100 points
On the Amazon platform, consumers rate the product with an average of 4.6 stars. One individual criticised the fact that the slatted frame is too curved and the mattress does not lie flat as a result. On the other hand, the very good quality and the simple assembly are emphasised positively. In our practical test, we were able to confirm that the quality of the bed is excellent and that it is easy to assemble. However, the criticism from consumers that the slatted frame was too bent was not justified.
Prices of up to €259.00 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very affordable products are available from as little as €109 . The TILA 2 single bed from smartwood® is therefore currently in the upper price segment with a price of €229. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is very good.
