This King-size bed is handsome, inexpensive, easy to assemble, and has a headboard. However this frame is not heavy-duty enough for a high-quality king size mattress and 2 people sleeping on it. After less than a year, the center legs started sagging and bending, and scratching up the floor severely. They are flimsy metal tubes while the rest of the bed is solid wood. My husband is a carpenter and was able to work with the bed a couple times to adjust it. Eventually it almost collapsed entirely, but my husband put together a fix that we are hoping will work well: it is to re-make the center that runs the length of the bed and to add 3 4x4 wood legs down center attached to a new wood 2x4 center . This replaced the skinny metal tubing legs that were there before. I have included a pic. The pic of the metal leg is just to give the general idea.
When asked if he would rather buy this bed again, knowing hed have to work with it, or spend over $1500 on a bed that has no issues, he said he would consider buying it again and make the fix right away Now that I know how easy it is to fix.
Add center supports to this bed!
