Perfect height and sturdy
I got the 16’ queen frame and I think it’s the perfect height for a bed frame. Very sturdy too and easy to put together.

Good frame, very low
Easy to put together. Very sturdy. Too low for us, would be great for small kids

Great for tall people
This is a very sturdy frame. It was pretty easy to put together and came with the hex driver to help. I did not realize how high this would make our bed; a little taller than our night stands, but my 6’2″ husband loves the height. He can easily sit on the bed without having to squat a bit. For me at 5’4″, it is a little too tall. As I get older, I will probably need a stool. LOL

Nice and inexpensive
I bought this bed frame for my guest room. It is light weight and was easy to put together. My full size mattress fits just perfectly. Only problem is the mattress slides around too easily and the legs are on the very edge of the frame, making it easy to stub toes. I would probably purchase this bed frame again.

Very sturdy bed frame
Nice and sturdy frame very happy with this purchase. It’s high enough that I don’t need bed risers. A lot cheaper than anywhere else. If you’re looking for a bed frame don’t hesitate to get it from here. Highly recommended.

2 years going strong!
I purchased this frame 2 years ago & it’s STILL great. Love the storage underneath. No noises or needing to tighten screws. Put together myself easily. Looks good!

Bring your own tools, patience, and upper body strength!
Overall this appears to be a sturdy and pretty well-made bed frame, and it looks nice once assembled. The assembly instructions are very clear, and a few spare nuts and bolts are provided. However, I still had significant trouble putting the thing together, and here are the details of my adventure with this process:The nuts provided are lock nuts — they have a blue plastic or nylon coating on the inside to create more friction and prevent the bolts from coming loose. This does make sense for a bed frame, since you don’t want the parts to loosen up or start squeaking over time. Unfortunately, in this case the coating on the inside of the nuts made it extremely difficult to tighten them all the way — they would go on very easily for the first few turns, but once the bolts came in contact with the inner coating, turning the nuts became nearly impossible. I asked around and was told that lock nuts should only create enough friction to keep the nuts from loosening; they shouldn’t make it so much more difficult to screw the nuts on. The inner coating felt more like PVC than nylon, so it probably wasn’t as flexible as it should have been to accommodate the bolts. Perhaps these were just cheap materials, but I’m no hardware expert so this is just speculation on my part.In other words, you WILL need to use real tools for this, and the tools provided with the product simply don’t provide enough grip or leverage to get the job done. After a lot of struggle, I switched to using my own appropriately sized hex wrench and crescent wrench, which made the task of tightening the nuts much more possible but still not easy. The end of the hex wrench provided deformed after a few bolts, but my own was fine, so clearly the metal used for the provided tools isn’t very strong, at least not strong enough for assembly that involves these lock nuts.You also have to be really careful not to strip the heads of the bolts, especially if you want to be able to disassemble the bed frame in the future for moving, etc. The materials the bolts are made from is not strong enough to easily withstand the force required for assembly. I stripped a bolt while trying to use the provided tools, and had to hammer a wide flat head screw driver into the bolt head to make a new indentation so I could unscrew it and replace it with a spare (thankfully since the metal in the bolt was weak enough to strip so easily, it was weak enough to use my method for removal). I eventually figured out that a good way to avoid stripping the heads of the bolts is to keep the hex wrench stationary and only use it to keep the bolt in place, while using the crescent wrench to turn the nut: turn the nuts, not the bolts. However, it was difficult to fit my crescent wrench into the tight spaces, and as a result there were times when I could only make about a quarter turn at a time, resulting in the process taking forever.In the end, an assembly that would normally have taken me no more than half an hour took several hours and was much more exhausting than expected. It would have been much easier with different nuts, though you’d have to consider the trade-off of potentially ending up with a squeaky bed later.One piece of good news is that only the main structure of the bed frame has to be bolted together, because the slats simply snap in. The slats are not quite as long as the space they occupy and leave about 1/16”-1/8” empty at each end; I don’t know if this is by design or how I feel about it, but it shouldn’t interfere with the bed frame serving its purpose.Also keep in mind that this product ships with USPS (at least it did in my case), which can lead to a host of issues depending on whether USPS is willing to deliver packages to your address that don’t fit in your mailbox (USPS refuses to deliver to your door or even to the community package room where I live).I might have given this product five stars if it had been easier to put together and shipped with Amazon or any carrier other than USPS.
