I looked for a platform bed off and on for about 11 months. I was beginning to think my husband was going to have to build one. Then I found this one / the price was a bonus. It arrived two days ahead of schedule. It was Packaged well. Not that many parts. Quick and easy assembly. No manufacturing damage. Supported our king Tempur/Pedic mattress without any issues. No squeaking. Husband is an engineer and said if the screws are tightened properly the bed will not squeak. The ratchet tool included with the bed is nice, especially if you dont have tools. The slats use hook and loop to stay in place. Hook strip on the bed frame, loop strip on the slats. They also have two strips of sticky tape to hold your mattress in place. After sleeping on the bed were very happy with this purchase. It is a well designed sturdy bed. The design award was justified.
UPDATE / We are using the ample space under the bed for storage. Not wanting people to see the storage containers I started looking for an option to screen the space. I DID NOT want a bed skirt. I purchased a 16 table runner and folded it over 2 and pressed the runner. Then I used 3/4 rare earth magnets to attach the runner to the steel bed frame placing the magnets on the folded over portion of the runner. It was 9 feet long so it wrapped around the head of the bed. Best part I didnt have to wrestle the skirt under the mattress. It looks neat and clean and it was an easy solution.
Great Bed Frame and NOT Just For The Money
