My last bed frame was a and I was super happy with it. It looked great, was easy to assemble, was sturdy, and survived being taken apart and put back together several times across moves. When it was time for a new bed frame, I knew I wanted another product.
The assembly for this seemed very easy at first until it came to the last step which was to attach the headboard legs to the base. I tried for nearly an hour but I could never have both sides tightened at the same time / one would always come loose. At one point the entire headboard tipped over and landed on top of the base but thankfully nothing broke.
My resolution: I took the headboard off of the feet and focused on getting the feet attached to the base. I used liquid nails on the screws. Once one side was secure and tightened with the liquid nails a little dry, I did the same thing on the other side. After letting that sit for a few minutes, I had a friend hold the headboard while I attached it to the feet. The headboard still didnt feel steady so I added two extra screws on each headboard foot for extra security. Then I felt comfortable that this assembly was secure.
The previous bed frame had all the pieces fit into a pouch in the back of the headboard which was nice. This one wont travel as well so its definitely better for a home where its going to stay awhile. Additionally, this frame only had one metal bar going vertically while my previous one also had it horizontally. It doesnt feel like the sturdiness is compromised but I think all the frames would be better having two bars criss crossing.
Overall, Im happy with how this product looks and it feels secure after my adjustments. I wanted to bring in some wood tones to my bedroom and this frame certainly is a standout. Hope my review helps anyone struggling with assembly and is considered by for future product design. Works well
Easy as except the last step
