Golden Gate Beds Vintage Style Metal Bed Frame with Wrought Iron Headboard and Footboard Classic Platform Bedframe with

I read the great reviews for this bed and frame, and that's a big reason I bought it. This bed and frame are beautiful powder-coated metal (I bought the queen gray) and look like they'll last a hundred years. I was very impressed with how well-packed it was, not a thing could have shifted. The hardware came in little well-labeled bags with good instructions on what goes into where. Went together pretty easily, actually kind of fun, is very sturdy, NO squeaks. Even made my 25-yr-old mattress feel great. The instructions could have been a little bit larger print for old eyes like mine but a very minor point in light of the high quality of this item. Very good value for the money, arrived a day early, couldn't be happier with this purchase! And from reading the ad at the top of the page, I also saved $60 off this bed buy applying for and getting the Amazon Store card which gives 5% cash back on Amazon purchases. So for a mere bag of shells, I have a terrific bed and frame and never have to hear a squeak again! It is obvious to me that the people who work at this company take great pride in what they are making, packing, and shipping....kudos to them! This is a terrific buy and I would highly recommend it!

I bought the coppery/brown queen frame. Unbelievably quick shipping, a couple days. (Dang box was really heavy though, I had no idea. [75lbs.]) Unpacking the bed and various parts was a long, tedious process. Ultimately, putting the bed itself together took just a bit longer than unpacking the box, i.e., it took about an hour to unpack and get all things orderly and about an hour and fifteen to put the bed together. All bolts, washers etc., had one extra for each size. The instructions were rather vague pictures but provided enough info that you don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure it out. I had no issues assembling it, rather unbelievably, it went smoothly which was a good thing because I did it myself. I tightened everything down last and it has no wobble, creak, sway, shimmy or anything similar, just really solid/firm. Very impressive. The color is lovely, stunning really, and the bed looks beautiful. I very highly recommend. (Since the bed frame doesn't require a boxspring, I thought it prudent to put three thin 2' by 4' on top of the slats. It has worked out well and there is no sliding or movement by the mattress.) I ordered another in full size silver/grey for my daughter which demonstrates how much I appreciated the quality and beauty of the bed. Read more

Apologies for the weird angle of the picture- my room is rather small! This bed frame definitely met my expectations for a sturdy vintage style bed that would support my modern memory foam mattress without needing box springs. I know we're all nervous about sight-unseen purchases from Amazon, so I wanted to break this one down a little more thoroughly. Pros: *Great price point for what you get! A regular adjustable bed frame with no slats is around a hundred dollars at W*lM*rt, and that doesn't include a headboard/footboard, so this was a great deal. * Fairly easy assembly! It did take two of us just because of the small space I had to work in. Could probably be done with one person if you had room to prop up the headboard/footboard while you attached them. Did not need any tools that it didn't come with. The instructions were clear to me- definitely pay attention when it says "Don't tighten bed frame initially"- that's printed in big red letters at every step, and was a source of jokes for me and my roommate while we assembled it, but they mean it! The slats won't go in properly if any of the bolts are fully tightened. It stays up and stable during assembly even with the bolts loose, so don't worry about that. All of the necessary parts were there, and they even give an extra of every bolt/washer/allen wrench. * Sturdy and quiet! The description doesn't lie about the foam pieces under the slats keeping it quiet and comfortable. No movement at all with me and my 60lb dog on and off of it. Cons: I will preface this section with this disclaimer- these aren't hard nos for me. Just a little bit of pickiness for anyone who may be a perfectionist. :P * One of the headboard legs was a darker color than the rest of the frame. The headboard and footboard are the same size, so the headboard comes with two legs that you bolt to it to raise it up. One leg was a darker, more brownish bronze than the rest which was a more reddish bronze (which I loved). I just put it on the side that goes against the wall. No big. Likely just a different lot of paint. * Two of the bolts didn't thread properly. But that's ok- they give you extras! * There was a scrape in the paint on the top of the headboard from shipping. It was packed very well, but things happen. It isn't huge and there's no dent, so I can touch it up with some textured Rustoleum paint of the same color. * One of the slats didn't fit quite perfectly in the slot. All of the others felt like they "clicked" in and were flush with the frame, but one sticks up just a hair. We confirmed it was the slat itself and not the plastic it fits into in the frame, but the amount it sticks up is not an issue. Overall I LOVE it. It fits my simple but vintage furniture style so well, and I don't feel like I'm going to break it. I hope this helps!! Read more
