This review is of the full (double bed) size platform. For background, I am a single weighing approximately 150 and there is little vigorous activity taking place on it
It is exactly what I was looking for; well made of real wood and sturdy. I dont understand some of the reviews that claimed otherwise. I wouldnt advise winging it during the assembly process, however. Perhaps, that would explain some other folks apparent difficulties. Exercise patience, review and follow the assembly instructions and you shouldnt have any problems, at least I didnt. It takes about 45 minutes from box to placing mattress.
As one of the other reviewers pointed out, it takes a couple days to stop stubbing your toe on the middle side post since most of us are not accustomed to having a supporting post at that location. This frame, with its 9 legs, is well suited to supporting and distributing the weight of todays heavier mattresses and the bonus of not needing a box spring because the slats that are included are adequate in number and thickness, is great. I had ordered extra, heavy duty, slats fearing those that came with the frame might be inadequate, but that certainly was not the case. Good thing too because had sent the wrong size slats; I had to return them.
If you like the newer trend of a bed close to the floor, this 14 high frame isnt for you; if you prefer your bed at the more traditional height this will work for you. I have an 8 mattress plus a 3 inch topper on it which brings it to a rather traditional height bed. If you want a sturdy platform, of finished wood, in natural (light) color, you should be pleased with this product which the box states is Made in . So far I am pleased! If anything changes I will update this review. Built strong.
