Just as Expected This is a well made bed frame. All materials are heavy duty from the solid wood legs and bed slats to the sturdy metal bars and side pieces. The bed is easy to assemble, I really like how the bed slats velcro onto the frame and are connected with long strips to keep the spacing. Ive seen this done a number of different ways using either screws or pegs, but this solution is quick to set up, easy to move and stays in place. Visually this bed is very minimal and clean but the wood provides some warmth thats a nice balance to the metal. Make sure youre prepared to stack some pillows up on the headboard, its not comfortable at all to lean up against. My only issue with this bed frame was that during assembly I stripped one of the Allen bolt heads out. Im not sure if it was a threading issue or me not being careful enough, I used an electric screwdriver and was in a hurry. None of the other bolts had the issue but Im going to say it was my fault and Id recommend installing the bolts by hand just to be safe. Overall this is a well designed, well made bed frame with quality materials, Id recommend it for sure.
Read before you buy A very solid bed. Easy to put together. People say it is hard to assemble not true. Bed looks very nice I think it could hold a lot more than just a mattress. Package came in perfect condition and all the contents were undamaged. Great price I would buy again !
Perfect Fit our needs I ordered this frame a few months ago and waited to give it a honest review. First, I love how easy it was to assemble, took me less than a hour to put the whole thing together. Second, the bed itself is actually really sturdy! It hasnt given me or my boyfriend any issues since we started sleeping on it. I would definitely buy it again for the guest room! The height it sits at is perfect too. Not too high, not too low.
Sturdy, great for the price The box looked like it had been through hell. It was rough and there were some scratches and damage from poor packaging. The bed made it together. First of all, it can be done with one person but would probably be easier with two. It takes some maneuvering to get the holes to line up sometimes. All that being said, it does seem sturdy and once the mattress is on, you cant see any of the scratches.
This bed-frame is sturdy and attractive. However, the aggravation involved in assembly may be reason enough not to buy this bed.
First, the bed-frame arrived in a single box requiring two large men to carry it in. Fortunately, I was home and able to greet them. Huffing and puffing, they were able to carry it up to the second floor and leave it in my bedroom.
Much of the aggravation in the assembly process can be traced to inadequate instructions. The manual consists of numbered diagrams with letter and quantity identifiers. While has a similar approach, I would soon find out that this unit should have come with much more information.
My experience started with the unboxing of the components. If there were detailed instructions, they should caution the assembler to first lay down an old blanket or pad if assembling in a room with a hard-wood floor. Otherwise, the weight and sharp edges of the metal pieces may inadvertently scratch the floor. Sanding and refinishing the floor will multiply by 10 any savings realized by purchasing this low-cost item.
Next, the instructions provided with my unit included a diagram of all components including the specification that the unit requires 24 short hex bolts and 1 long hex bolt. Mine came with 22 short hex bolts and 1 long hex bolt. I called customer service and spoke to Christine. Christine had a digital copy of the manual and her manual specified that Version 2 of my bed-frame only required 22 bolts. She asked me if my manual specified whether I had version 1 or version 2 of the bed-frame. Neither my instructions nor any markings on the box indicated a version. So much for customer service.
What the non-existent detailed instructions should have indicated, is that to assemble this unit with less than two people holding the parts together is almost impossible. The parts appear to be precision manufactured. This means that to insert one part into another requires absolute precise angles or they will not fit at all. The pieces are bulky and heavy. The instructions should have advised to initially screw in each bolt only half way and complete tightening only when all metal pieces have been installed. This would ease the ability to precisely fit the parts at the right angles required.
Lastly, the instructions should have cautioned the installer that even the slightest imperfection in any part might prevent it from fitting into a joining part. This unit came with one hollow metal side rail that refused to joint with the inserting headboard piece. Visually, the rail opening looked ok. A closer examination with a magnifying glass showed a slight indentation in the rail was preventing joining of the pieces. With that determined, only a couple of minutes with a mallet and screwdriver banging out the almost invisible dent enabled completion of the bed-frame assembly.
The unit came with an L shaped Allen wrench to install each of the 22 short and 1 long hex bolts. Much of the assembly time is spent tightening the bolts. If the unit also came with a single straight Allen wrench, one could insert that wrench into an electric screwdriver or electric drill and substantially shorted the installation time.
As I review the installed bed, one of the headboard posts has a noticeable scratch at the top. Was it there at the beginning? Did I inadvertently cause the scratch when I initially tried to assemble the cumbersome pieces myself? Ill never know.
This compares to the assembling of a similar bed-frame from in our quest room only a week ago. That adventure was much smoother than this one.
Maybe in time, after I sand the scratch and then stain the corner posts, Ill forget the aggravation of the installation and just appreciate the finished product. Maybe not.
Buy it! What are you waiting for? This thing is perfect. The simple design is beautiful and the contrast is of wood against the black steel is very aesthetically pleasing, and not something you see everyday. I have actually received a lot of compliments on it.
As far as construction, this frame is legit. Very high quality materials, heavy duty, and sturdy. I did want to to mention that after about 2 months of having the frame it started to squeak every time I got on, off or changed position. Thought about oiling the rivets, but decided to tighten everything first. 2 minutes of tightening all the bolts with an Allen wrench is all it took and it hasnt squeaked again since (about 5 or 6 months). Id assume this happens to most of the frames as it gets broken in, theres a little of slack in the bolts and it just takes a little tightening to end the squeaking.
As far as getting intimate (because lets be real, you all plan to, or at least hope), this thing is great. The headboard is very sturdy and wont slam against your wall, so theres no need for the pillow between the wall and the headboard. Already mentioned that tightening the bolts well fixes the squeaking. And the open headboard allows for great leverage, no matter the position.
Ive read a lot of reviews complaining about assembling the frame, but dont let that scare you off. While it was a little more complicated than I thought it would be, it wasnt that difficult; it just takes a little attention to detail. If you possess a little patience and an ounce of intelligence (which Im assuming you do if youre still reading this review), you can figure it out. And just know that once its assembled, its assembled forever.
Amazing product and worth the price Fairly East to assemble, took me about 30 minutes by myself, defragmenter is pretty sturdy, works good and looks good. It is a lightweight frame, I am a little concerned about the longevity of this frame, but it hasnt had any issues yet.

Great full size frame.
Easier than you think It was a quick build. You will need two people. Looks great. Full size. Masculine look.

Very sturdy
Definitely a great buy! Exactly what we ordered. Went together easily and surprisingly very sturdy!
Needs to be packaged better but pretty good overall.
