I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of this bed. We unexpectedly had to purchase a new bed frame when our queen sized frame broke during a move, and we decided to just upgrade to a king size earlier than planned. We didnt want to compromise on the quality of our mattress, so we decided to pick a more affordable bedframe option.
The frame is quite easy to put together, and the directions are clear and based on illustrations. It took two people about an hour to assemble the frame. We did not require additional tools, the manufacturer provides the allen wrench you require.
Overall the bedframe is aesthetically pleasing. The wood part of the headboard is MDF, but the laminated pattern seems realistic. Its usually covered by pillows or the quilt anyway, so authenticity isnt of great concern to me. The portion is nice as well. It has an appearance, but does not seem distressed. It is smooth, and I have not caught blankets or myself on any snags or rough spots.
The bedframe appears sturdy. Rubber inside the slots where you stick the supportive slats keeps it from squeaking. There is a center support, but I noticed the two legs on the front and back kind of hover above the floor. Im not sure if they touch the floor when people get into the bed, but theyre there, I guess. There is foam on the top of the center support which the slats rest on, so no squeaking there. I have not noticed the bed shifting or making noise when people get in or out, and both of us are tall people over 200 pounds.
There is a small gap at the end of the bed when you push the mattress all the way up. Its only about 2 inches with our particular mattress. If you tuck blankets down in it, though, its unnoticeable.
The only thing I truly dislike is the center support at the edges of the bed. Ive stubbed my toes on it a few times. If theyd just moved it back a few inches it would have been fine, but its right at the edge in a spot people often step when theyre making the bed or getting into the bed. You could probably take some black colored foam and wrap it around the leg so its not quite so painful to smash your foot into that thing, but otherwise I anticipate more accidents.
Sturdy, Quiet, and Affordable
