Sturdy Great Storage, But Youll Probably Need a Bunkie Board
PROs:
Well designed and compactly packaged
Easy to assemble parts clearly labeled, joints numbered, and extra hardware, tools, and clear instructions included
Sturdy all construction with 9 legs 8 around the periphery and 1 in the center
14 height bed frame model provides excellent under bed storage
CONs:
Cross s set 6 apart probably too wide to place a memory foam mattress on without an additional bunkie board?
Toe/stubbing risk high until you get used to the leg placement
Depending on the mattress type and layers, the 14 height bed frame model that I purchased can start to make your bed feel a little tall. From floor to comforter top mine clocks in at 32, which puts it level with the bottom of my booty. This took a little getting used to, but the added storage space is fantastic. A flat sheet for the matching mattress size placed underneath the bed on top of the frame makes a perfect bed skirt that just touches the floor on the sides and foot of the bed.
The deck of this frame is flat all across the top with no recess or lip of any kind at the edges, so whatever you place on top of the frame could be pushed over the edges easily depending on how much lateral motion you create while getting in and out of bed, etc. In my case, the flat edges meant that I had to drill holes in the edges of a bunkie board (purchased separately):
Several of the frame s come with peelable adhesive tape strips applied to the top edges to create tack and discourage whatever is on top of the deck from moving. Chances are these probably would have been an OK solution, but the thought of adhesive residue transfer was a turn off, so I left the tape strip s unpeeled and turned them over to keep any gunk from oozing out onto anything else over time.
4 Stars instead of 5 because if the frame came with more s I wouldnt have needed to buy a separate bunkie board and adapt it.
