Great bed frame!
Absolutely love it! Iâve had it for almost 2 years now and it still holds up well. Easy to assemble and took maybe about an hour total.Pictures are from when I first bought it

Middle support broke
Was a decent frame for the year and a half or so it lasted. It was pretty creaky and the middle support beam snapped in the middle of the night

Not enough wood slats
I can’t speak to the longevity of this item because I just got it. But, I can compare this item to similar low beds. Overall, it is well made. I think the problems about sturdiness in other reviews was solved. I weigh 240lbs alone and it supports me without shaking. What gave me concern was the thin wooden slats and the distance between them. Gaps between the slats in these types of beds can be felt if you don’t have a thick mattress. Also, kids like to dive and jump on beds, so that could lead to broken slats. My solution was to supplement what’s there by adding more and stronger boards between the ones you get. You can even staple velcro onto the new boards so they stay, but that’s not necessary.The primary reason I chose to buy this product over other low beds is because of the arched bottom and top bar. It is a pretty design element, but for me, I like to elevate the top of the bed slightly (about 6″). Most low beds have no baseboard and this leads to the mattress slowly sliding off the bed frame. With the curved design, I doubt that will happen. Although I wish the curve was more pronounced to hold a bigger mattress. If I had my dream bed, the support legs would allow adjusting the height. When I tilt the bed up with risers, I have to find ways to support the mid-frame with books or blocks and that’s not very attractive.However, most people will keep the bed flat on the ground so this bed is great for ordiniry use and worth the money overall.It was easy to put the bed together. You should know that they give you to wrenches, but no extra screws, so be careful not to lose them.

Great
Had this for 2 years now â easy to assemble and Iâve had no issues. I got the 6â- still plenty of room underneath to store things. Would definitely recommend.

Breaks by itself
Like others’ experience, the vertical support beam creaked, croaked and snapped after a year and a few months without any activity or additional weight at all.

Couldn’t be Happier
Like many buyers, I read the WORST reviews FIRST, then the good ones, check the dates to see if problems were old or newer and analyze the bad ones. I decided on this bed frame. This went together SUPERBLY! The picture instructions were understandable, all the bolts fit the holes and hand screwed in before tightening with the supplied allen wrenches (which also fit perfectly in the bolt heads, nice and deep) . I read one review that showed the middle bar twisting – that’s because the buyers (who showed a picture) had the 2 side edges of the frame on the floor but the middle bar was on a rug….so it was like a three legged stool…only two of the three could touch the ground at once…so their weight shifted to one edge but that middle bar is designed ONLY for VERTICAL LOADS…so the one side slipped on the floor (as the other wasn’t touching much at all), and over she went. ALL the bottom bars and the FEET on the middle bar MUST be on the same surface (that should be in the description quite frankly), be it the floor or the rug. Each of the 2 sections of slats were connected with Velcro strips which mated with the velcro on the side bars. Easy Piezy. I was so impressed I had to write this review. It comes in a REALLY LONG BOX, best for 2 to handle and ours did get torn abit at one end, but everything was there. One happy camper here! By the way, at only 6 inches high, there is little you can shove under the bed. In our case I had a 6 inch high box that I had to store below the bed…..it went in before the slats….and in our case, this box needed the maximum distance between the middle bar’s feet to fit….and it did. Other frames just didn’t have the opening we needed…..this one was perfect…now I don’t need to access the box very much so that’s the rest of the story. At six inches with the bars all being about 1 inch square, you have only about 4-1/4 inches to squeeze between the bars (except at the ends where in the middle the curved bar gives you a little more for some distance. One thing I can criticize is there is a slat gap at both the head and feet….I’d like to see that be addressed as an AIR MATTRESS does protrude downward thru the gap…..now there’s not much weight on the bed NORMALLY in those areas, but still rubbing is occurring all the time. Over all a 4.99 out of 5.

This base platform full sized bed was just what we needed. Our old full sized bed was too high for us to get into due to our health conditions. We both have physical disabilities, I myself have a spinal condition, my wife has a hip and leg condition which made it hard for us to get in and out of. This new bed was the answer to our health issues, very comfortable, very easy to get in and out of, closer to the floor and the gravitational pull, which height makes a considerable amount of difference all way round. Thank you Amazon for your product, fast & efficient delivery and customer service. Wayne & Jennifer Shortt-Button

Yes itâs nice and sturdy. Not as high off the ground as I thought it would be. But over all great bed frame. No complaints
