Review: Superb Quality Bedframe - Strong, Study, Squeak-Free, and Easy to Assemble - My wife and I had this thing together in about 30 minutes or less. I admit I got a little "stuck" on the very first step, but once my wife helped me envision that first step, the rest was simple. The frame assembles in 11 steps, with each step marked by part letters on the instruction sheet that corresponds to the metal parts. The frame comes with the necessary screws, some wrenches, and a few spare screws/bolts, plus the metal bed parts themselves. This thing is VERY sturdy. We bought the king size with the 16" legs, so our frame is large and somewhat high (you can get this in any size, and also with 12" legs). But even so, the extensive grid of connected metal parts, some of which are bolted together, some of which are screwed together, and others that just slip into place, make for a very rigid completed structure. All the parts came together without issue, there were no missing parts, and all the legs were of the correct height, making a level assembly on a flat floor (i.e., no legs were too short, with a gap underneath). It was fantastic when finished, because we could then dispense with the dreaded "box spring," all of which seem to creak and squeak, plus never seems to provide the support you want, particularly if you deal with lower back problems. You may sense with this frame, like with most any frame, some transfer movement from your partner when he or she rolls over, but it is VERY minimal. The upper frame parts are also covered with both sticky tape to keep the mattress in place and also thick rubber overlays at certain points to reduce noise. The assembled frame really is very quiet. So, you just open the box, read the directions while you review the parts, assemble the frame step-by-step using the provided tools, then put your mattress directly on the frame, and you are done! You can also purchase a bed skirt to go around the sides for a finished look, and a headboard can also be attached at the front if desired. Of course, if you need to move the frame, you can disassemble it, and then reassemble it anytime. The frame is too heavy and unwieldy to pick up and move in its assembled state. Beyond the sheer quality and sturdiness of the thing, I keep asking myself how they can sell this frame so inexpensively. I guess it's because, in the end, it is simply a set of metal rods, screws, and bolts, and so production economies of scale kick in. But I can truly say I wish I had purchased this thing years ago. It's sturdy, super firm quiet, and can be disassembled if necessary. We both give it our highest rating.
Review: Wonderful bed platform! - Are you looking for something affordable, simple and sturdy? This was exactly what we were looking for and I’m super impressed. We originally got this to replace our previous boxspring that was made by the same company we purchased the mattress from. It was made of wood and completely broken so we needed something strong that would hold up. I’m very handy and I can usually tell if something is going to be a pain to put together or flimsy pretty quickly. However, I was immediately impressed with the materials and the fact that they included a nice ratchet wrench. It took me about 30 minutes or so to put together. We got the king size for our guest room so the box was pretty heavy. It says to use two people to carry it. I always say, “two people or one stubborn DIY-er”. I was able to get this down into our basement and set it up all alone. I like that this is 16 inches off the floor. Our guests will have room to fit their bags under the bed and out of the way. This does have metal cross bars which could make noise over time. However, they have put a foam strip down the center support rod which prevents any noises from occurring for now. The only negative for me is there would be no way to attach a headboard. I’m sure you could figure it out though if that’s something you decided on doing.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Any squeeking with ummm.... movement?**
A: Because it's metal on metal, you can spray it with WD-40. That might help with the squeeking

**Q: Does it have holes in the frame to accomodate a headboard?**
A: I have this frame and there are no holes for a headboard

**Q: Can i buy a stand alone head board or will it not fit right?**
A: I added a stand alone headboard. It looks great.

**Q: How can this possibly accomodate a 10" memory foam mattress (manufactured by Zinus) which states that slats have to be no more than 3" apart?**
A: We recently purchased this bedframe and have a 10" high full sz tuft and needle adaptive foam (memory foam) mattress. We are tall and weight proportional and this mattress does not slide, move, or sink thru slats. It looks great, clean lines and lots of storage underneath. Five stars from these two senior citizens!! We love it!!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sturdy boy but creeky at first
*by L***N on September 7, 2021*

UPDATE 3: Going on 3 years with this bed frame and I have to say this is one of the best frames after it has gotten over its creekiness. Like a few other people have said if you tighten up the screws and spray them with a little WD40 after about a week or so of sleeping on it then it is a really good bed. We recently moved and when we put it back together I didn't have to use the WD40 again for it to not be squeaky. Still wish it had a little bit of a lip to it so the mattress didn't move around too much because once you move the mattress the sticky pads come off a little bit and aren't as sticky to hold it down, but they are still good. Definitely worth the buy and I 100% suggest this brand to everyone. 5/5 stars. UPDATE 2: The squeak has gotten so horrible it wakes us up. Going to try tightening and wd40 like others said. Hope that works. EDIT: Have used this bed for a few weeks now and it has started to creek worse than any wooden bed I've had. Idk what to do to make it stop by is disappointing with the bed being so nice and sturdy. I'm not a fan of the og type of bed with the wooden slats because of the noise they make, and how unsecure they feel just sitting there(think Ikea beds). So when I found this one I was super excited! Its super sturdy, just the right height(even for someone who is 5'6 like me), and was super easy to put together even alone. Only thing I wish there was a sort of recess for the mattress to sit into instead of it just chilling on the top, but the sticky pads to keep it in place.
