Breezehome King Size Bed Frame with Headboard, 18in High, Heavy Duty Metal Platform Bed Frame, Noise Free, Easy Assembly, No Box Spring Needed, Black

Beautiful and Sturdy bedframe
I was impressed with the packaging and the design. The assembled product looked beautiful and was very sturdy. My kingsize mattress fit like a glove.I am experienced assembler so here are a few hints.1) Open the box from a long side. (see picture)2) You need plenty of room to assemble the bed frame.3) The instructions are assembly drawings so identify the parts which are labeled. Identify the fasteners which are also labeled. Be sure you are using the correct fastener for each section.4)The first part assembled is the headboard. Followed by the footboard. And finally the centerframe is assembled using the headboard and footboard as structure.5) I assembled the headboard flat on the carpet. You can you a blanket or sheet to protect the bed and the floor if you dont have carpet. I stood headboard up against the wall after it was complete. Be careful not to catch carpet fibers or fabric as you tighten the fasteners.6) Begin each fastener by hand so that you have less chance of cross threading. Attach both fasters but dont completely tighten until all the fasters are started. You can tighten the screws by hand using the wrench provided. [ After hand starting, I used a cordless drill with a torque setting of 5 initally to seat the screw and then a 10 as a final setting. My drill has a max of 20 on it’s settings- you mileage may vary]7) Be careful with sharp points of the parts and fasteners rubbing against finished surfaces. You can easily scratch a finished surface and remove the paint(powder coating).8) Assemble the side rails of the bed frame to the foot board first. This will allow the foorboard to remain upright without addtional support. Then attach rails to the headboard.9) Added the center support last. It’s much easier with the side rails on.9a) The final fastened supports attach the center rails to the side rails. Although the part appears similar on both sides, I found that there was a definite orientation for the center rail to be fastened. (If it’s not connecting quite right, flip the ends and see if it’s better.) Be sure these are securely seated and firmly torqued ( even if it’s just tightened by hand- You wont be able to easily get to these later. )10) You can add the lay-in center cross supports from outside the side rails. They don’t fit tight between outside rail and center rail and they have about 1/8th inch maybe more of play. Don’t be alarmed. If the part is supported by at least 3/8″ on both ends, this should not affect the structual integrity of the frame. Mine had plenty of support. Note: Most were snug bu tnot tight on the capture clips. Be sure to seat them completely.11)Finally, go around the entire bedframe and make sure to hand tighten and retorque all fasters on the outside and tops of the head and foot boards.11a) ( I’m speculating) You may have to check the torque (retighten) the bolts even year or so if they start becoming lost. You can add some red locktite or removable thread locker if prefer. It can be found on Amazon or local hardware stores.Congratulations! You are done! It took me slightly over an hour to do but I stopped to have an ice tea, half way! Take your time and good luck.

Nice sturdy frame
This is a very sturdy bed frame. I put it together by myself. It was a little tricky in some areas but otherwise no problems. Looks very nice in my son’s room even though that was not the intended room for it. Handles he’s bed jumping nicely.

Some parts may be defective
I love the bed frame and it was relatively easy to put together. My husband & I are in our 80’s and read the directions and followed them one step at a time. Only one big problem. One of the parts that is permanently attached to the headboard part has a defective receiver for the screw to screw into. It was not threaded properly from the manufacture so the screw will not thread into the receiver therefore the headboard can’t be securely put together. All the other 30+ screws were perfect. I tried to contact someone at Amazon to get just the defective part replaced. That is hopeless. I would have given this bed frame 5 stars as it is heavy duty and nice, but now my husband will have to go buy some sort of screw and bolt to hold the parts of the headboard together.

So pleased!
When I opened the box, I found the instructions easily. I used a pen to mark off items and item counts. They included one extra of every type of screw. It was very easy to assemble. I(61F) did it alone. It looks awesome and is VERY sturdy. 18″ clearance underneath allows my 15″ tall plastic bins to slide under easily and I can fit up to ten of them. I love it!!!!
