Many reviews mention the frame allows mattress slip. This may be in part because exactly one half of the bed slats have non slip tape on them (5 out of 10 of them). You can put all the non slip slats on the end you expect to slip most, or alternate between the two types. But there's another cheap solution: rubber feet. They are available from about 99 discount stores and here on Amazon too (Asin#B00V7UD8ZQ). Simple non-slip peel and stick rubber feet for furniture legs. You don't want the felt or cork versions. Just the rubber ones. Peel and stick the rubber feet around the edges of the bedframe facing up. Bed still sliding? Add more feet. Rubber feet too big? Cut with scissors to get double the amount of feet. Simple, cheap, effective, easy to find, easy to install, and easily replaceable: Rubber furniture feet. The frame itself is very sturdy though mine was mildly difficult to assemble. On the headboard end the slats had maybe 1/16th of an inch of extra space. On the foot end, there wasn't enough room to put one single slat in place close to the legs. This was solved by loosening the bolts for the legs and sort of sumo squatting to push the edges apart to insert that one slat. Also, the bolt holes aren't super well machined. You can feel you have the bolt in the threads right, then halfway tight they get difficult to turn. Feels like it may strip itself, but don't worry. If you got the threads right on the first half, you're just cleaning out the metal on the second half. I suspect this is why two hexkey wrenches are included for something that only contains 18 bolts total. Four bolts for each leg, and two to install the cross brace. (Twin size) The description says 500 pound weight limit, but the instructions claim 350 pound weight limit. I added a plywood board across the slats and I feel fairly confident that this bedframe would now hold 500 pounds no problem. Another thing to notice for sturdiness is that the Amazon bedframe has arched slats unlike any of the others. Convex slats that already resist bowing in the weighted direction before anyone even sits on the bed. There's a reason that an arch is used in durable architecture throughout history, and that reason is: strength. 10 arched slats versus 8 straight ones on some other brands. While it's listed as an 18 inch bedframe, you should know that includes the width of the rails. So, there's only 16 inches of clearance to slide something beneath the rail. But this still provides ample storage and fits about 8 storage bins beneath a twin size. It's like buying a storage unit and it instantly made our place feel bigger by disappearing a lot of clutter. One of the other main reasons I bought the Amazon version of this item instead of a competitor is warranty. The reviews in many of the other frames claimed little or no contact back from manufacturers regarding warranty issues. This frame is backed by Amazon themselves and comes with a 5 year warranty according to the Q&A section. Please correct me if I'm wrong regarding warranty duration. Hope this review helps you make a decision, and I'll be sure to update this post if I have anything further to add. Read more
This is by far the best bed frame ive ever bought. Im a man of modest budget and income, so ive not purchased many bed frames. But this one is by far the best ive had. Super easy to assemble to 1 person, took 45 minutes with the help of my 6 month old pup. Its nice and tall, has plenty of room underneath for storage. Sturdy and easy to move, im a hefty person and it doesnt even budge under my weight hopping onto it. Would purchase again if the need arrised and would definitely recommend for anyone on a budget. Great product. Read more
I would like to preface this review by letting you know that I am extremely frugal and will search forever to find a bargain on a really great quality item... It happened. I got this on sale for like $46 I think free shipping it was only 40 lb so super easy to move into the room to assemble it. I refer to the instructions a couple times but honestly even without instructions I think this bed would be extremely simple to put together. I did it by myself and it was almost a no-brainer. The only thing you really need to check for is what type of screw goes where. The good thing is if someone is helping you, they do include two hex keys. Also awesome to have spare just in case. A couple of spare screws would have been nice but they do give you spare plastic pieces that the little bars go on. This bed is extremely sturdy, really great storage space underneath and lightweight if you ever need to move it. I'm extremely pleased with this purchase and would absolutely buy again. You knocked it out of the park Amazon! Worth every penny. Read more
It's too high with a12 inch mattress. But it gives me storage underneath. Sturdy enough for me to move around on it and feel safe. I've had them collapse with me. It was easy for me to put together. Read more
Easy assemble and great price. Read more
I spent a lot of time looking for bed frames like this. There are a LOT of them on amazon. Honestly I looked for the best review ratio of stars to amount of reviews. There were some bad ones for this bed frame so I was honestly a little nervous. I spent extra time that I would normally do setting it up/building, and also tightened everything REALLY well. It is 3 months in and I am still SO happy with it! Here’s a few more details that I know I was interested in when researching. I’m 6’4” and close to 350lbs. I have “ptsd” with beds and furniture breaking on me. I joke with the ptsd but I have had countless nightmares about breaking things like this. Because of this I also purchased those rubber-non-slip pads to put under EVERY bed frame leg. It is now 3 months in to owning this bed and I am beyond happy. I don’t need a box spring (plus I order the 18” high one, which gives me not only amazing storage, but the box spring would make the bed WAY too high). If this is criteria you are looking for a solid bed frame that is minimalistic… I can’t recommend this product enough! Read more
Just what it advertised. Very sturdy and no slipping. It didn't take very long to assemble and the height is just right for me. Read more
This frame was relatively easy to put together for one semi-handy me, alone. The parts were marked quite neatly and there weren't too much of them, but the screws are counted without any spares, so don't lose them in assembling it. It stands quite tall (I have a 14" one), and it seems that an ordinary storage box should fit neatly under the frame. I would recommend to get a headboard separately though, I have one from my previous bed frame that I reuse again. Read more
