I went to put it together, opened up the instruction booklet, and it stated it supports up to 250 lbs. If you plan on sleeping with someone else, better watch your calories or take turns sleeping in shifts. This frame was easy to put together, however, it was about an inch too short for the metal headboard that I purchased it for. My boyfriend was going to drill holes into a metal plate to get it to work, so I left it assembled in my guest bedroom. About 2 hours after we assembled the bedframe, my sister asked me what the chemical smell was in the house. We couldn't figure it out for several hours and then realized it was coming from the bedframe. The smell was not noticeable untill the frame started to heat up once it was out of the box for a while. Our heat was running a lot on the day the frame was assembled and once the frame started to warm up, then the chemicals from the paint that was used to coat the bedframe started to release throughout our house. I had clothes drying in my guest room where the bedframe was located and they had the toxic chemical smell in them. I had to rewash the whole load, but some of it still smells. I ended up boxing the bedframe back up and sitting it outside on our porch, so the item was no longer in my house. I opened up the windows in my house upstairs yesterday to try and get the smell out, but that did not work completely. I can't believe that Amazon would sell this product in the first place. This item is made in China and they must use very TOXIC paint to cover the frame itself. This is definitely the worst product I have ever purchased on Amazon for health & safety issues.RebeccaNorcross, GA Like all the other reviews I’m very happy with this purchase. I hope it lasts and that we don’t break it! Only time will tell. FYI there’s not a lot of space between the floor and the frame, but it’s plenty to tuck the front part of your shoes in like I do every night. Hope this helps! Easy peasy to put together. I was so anxious, would it really snap in place, did I need screwdriver and tools? NOPE. The steel is strong, the construction seems well-made and it fit my king size bed exactly. So much trepidation, let me tell you Afraid it wouldn't fit, afraid it would be crappy steel... so very impressed with this. I recommend it highly. Getting our mattress/box springs off the floor finally. We'd put it all off the bed frame years ago when our dog, a Jack Russell, got too old to jump up on the bed and everyone knows we all do anything to make our elderly dogs comfortable! Even to the extreme of putting bed on the floor. Well, he died last year and it was time to bite the bullet and order a bed frame. I researched the Amazon offerings ... came up with this one and I'm very pleased. It came on time, it went together lickety split and it's just a great product. If you fear buying a bed frame, know that this one just works. For a King Size bed with 2 box springs and one mattress. Would be great if it didn't have very sharp corners sticking out from the end of the bed beyond the mattress. If the company would fix this defect, it would be perfect. I guess I should have read the description better. It's a basic frame thats held together by gravity. The frame doesn't have wheels and the cross members just sit in slots. If you shake the bed the frame wobbles all over the place. I would spend a little bit more if I were you and get a better made frame. This is an incredibly clever and easy to assemble design, with the exception of one massive oversight. The supports that are designed to hold up the headboard are comically weak. When installing a headboard as instruction describe, the headboard with rock back and forth by 6". I remedied this problem by bolting the headboard to the back legs, but that should not be a requirement when using a bedframe. It's a shame as the rest of the assembly is really clever and high quality. This bed frame is so nice I wish I could write one of those reviews that gets shared a million times on Social Media.For a product that you will never see again after you set it up and place your bed on it, Amazon has thought of everything.I bought two for my parents who are moving into assigned living, to replace a fifty year old frame that didn’t have a flange to attach headboards to. When the box arrived, it was so small and light, I feared there was a problem. Problem with an Amazon Basics purchase? Never. This product is so well thought out, even the packaging is well done. Take it out of the box, clip off some tie straps, and just unfold. Two, tubalar steel, black anondized bed rails appear like magic. Take three cross pieces out of plastic sleeves, slide them in place, and you are done. No sharp edges, no cut or pinched fingers, no blood blisters, no problem. Did I mention no tools required? Don’t like to read the small print? You won’t have to. Any average college student moving to a dorm can figure it out, with a beer in the other hand. The only question is, how can Amazon sell this so cheap? A bargain at twice the price. You won’t regret purchasing this item.
