Very attractive, versatile style with straightforward assembly//but a 225lb warranty for a QUEEN bed?!
If it werent for the terrible warranty, Id give this frame 5 stars. For the price, it is very handsome and versatile, with lightly upholstered charcoal colored linen/like fabric panels around the front and sides. I love that you dont need a stupid bed skirt. I run a retreat, and the bed skirts are a giant PITA when youre making just one bed, let alone dozens. The color and style are understated and look great with a broad range of colors and styles.
The frame SEEMS reasonably solid (we have probably a dozen different frames in use, and this doesnt seems pretty average), but the warranty covers 225 lb evenly spread over the frame. With queen mattresses ranging from about 40 lbs for a thin innerspring and 70 lbs or more for a 12 memory foam, that would give you just 155/185 pounds of human, total. Since Id wager most people buy a queen bed for a couple to use, youre looking at some pretty tiny humans or a useless warranty. Even for a single user, thats not a lot of wiggle room. Id make it under warranty, but not with my 5/year old in bed with me, even with a skimpy mattress!
Based on experience, do I think this frame will stand a good deal more than that? Yes, certainly. Im confident it will hold up to guest use here. But its a bit unnerving that the manufacturers either have super low confidence about consumers being able to assemble it properly, or they want to be be sure they never have to honor any warranty.
For the record, this is the first time Ive actually taken notice of a frame warranty, so maybe terrible warranties are the industry standard (or maybe other warranties are more reasonable, so they havent stuck out so much to me). But from furniture where I have noted the warranty, 225 lbs is not an unusual rating for a mid/sized chair (which, naturally, they dont expect to support a mattress + 2 humans). Does the job.
