Very Sturdy!!!
This is the third platform-style bed I have purchased in the past 10 years, and frankly I am blown away! My previous bed had some thin wire-like supports that had broken and was wobbly. I also needed a shorter frame for my poor dog who now has 3 legs :( PROS: - FAIR PRICE I paid around $80, which I am happy with. - FIT AND FINISH- You can't see much once the mattress is in place, but their is an even matte finish, and the paint and soldering points are neat and even. - STURDY- most important. The frame is very well designed. There is ZERO wobble and ZERO movement. I pushed the frame hard and it does not move. The slats are evenly spaced and strong. The slats are placed on anchors which are soldered to the frame- SEE PHOTO. There are no areas that I am worried about breaking. - EASE OF ASSEMBLY- There are not a lot of parts. It was easy to figure out what goes where. A second person would be helpful, but I was able to assemble by myself. Took me around 25- 30 minutes. - NO CREAKING. There is ZERO noise as you move and adjust or sit down, stand up, etc. - NO MATTRESS MOVEMENT- There are keepers which attach to the frame, so there is ZERO movement of the mattress. There are 4 of them- one for each side. STORATE SPACE- I purchased a shorter height this time- 14 in, but there is still ample storage. It comes in 16" and 18" also. CONS: - THE INSTRUCTIONS were a little lacking, but it was still easy to figure out. - POOR QUALITY OF INCLUDED WRENCH- It is just stamped out of a thin sheet of steel. You cannot grip it well enough to tighten the bolts. I had to use my own wrench to tighten the bolts properly. - KEEPERS IN THE WAY. The keepers work well, but they get in the way as you are trying to make the bed and attach the fitted sheet. I ended up using just 2 keepers- one at the head and one at the foot. - PROMINENT FEET TO BED- and they are not rounded. For whatever reason, they stick out about 3 inches more than my other bed. I have stubbed my toes badly 2 or 3 times where I nearly fractured my toe. I may move the bed to a different area in the room I took some time to write this because I wanted others to find a quality bed, as there are many junky ones out there. I am almost shocked at how well this one is built. I hope you enjoy it!! Read more
