This is a great bed frame.
I gave four stars instead of five because of the assembly instructions. Or should I say lack of instructions? The pictures are horrible and not very helpful. BUT if you look at the directions in bright light, maybe with a magnifying glass, and youre holding the leg piece in one hand...eventually you will get that aha moment. Then assembly is intuitive and a breeze. Tools are included.
Im using it with just my Casper mattress, and I couldnt be more comfortable. Im taping the tools to the frame underneath for when I move. Love it!
The frame was simple to assemble and the metal is very solid. The slats bend by design. for my 130 wife who is a back sleeper, they bend very little. For me at 200lbs and a side sleeper, they dip roughly 1/4 to 1/2 an inch give or take. This causes 2 problems.
Problem 1- the metal bar does not bend like the wood. causes a non-uniform sleeping surface that makes my lower back hurt in the morning. Problem 2- in my mattress research, I don't find anyone who says the base should do anything more then be flat, hard and supporting. Base should not bend.
to fix the problem, I simply put some two by four boards under my side of the bed as in picture. Replacing the slats won't be easy as they are 3 inch wide and only 1/2 inch thick. Standard slats are 3.5inch by 1 inch boards. Would require custom boards and even hardwood that thing might bow. Another fix would be to put solid wood slats on top of the frame across the entire bed then put mattress on the slats. Bracing under the bed was cheaper and simplier in my opinion.
I'm pleased with my frame now that i found a way to fix what I consider a design issue. It should be noted my wife never had any issues as she is a much lighter person
Needed a new heavy duty frame since we changed from a cal king to king. The frame is sturdy and it doesn't make a sound! Great frame! We are using it for a memory foam mattress. It was easy to set up with one person.
I didnt fully read the instructions and left a key element out of the equation, the black legs bundled with he center piece. Those are necessary to keeping yourself from looking like an idiot and emailing the company complaining. Today i am a Male Karen.
I would like to add that the instructions were a bit difficult to understand but if you actually take the time to unpackage ALL the items it might help limit your (my) embarrassment.
This frame does not suck, this frame is great. You (ME) will suck if youre an impatient idiot like I am.

The frame is heavy because it's made out of real materials. It's very easy to assemble, took me about 20 minutes by myself to do it. Comes with all the tools you need, too. The frame doesn't squeak, rock, or shake underneath you. The frame is high enough that I can store things underneath it. Very happy that I bought this. I recommended the same frame to my parents and they are happy with is as well.

Requires Bracing if your mattress needs flat base

Absolutely perfect
No box spring needed.... this is a strong, well built frame. Slats are spaced well and split with railing in the middle.
Great value
I liked the included tools and easy assembling. Very sturdy in its design:construction
Great!
