DO NOT BUY THIS!!! Read my entire review.. This really looks like it would be a great bed. I think it would be, except that the cross bars need to be about 1/4 to 1/2 inch longer. They BARELY fit so you have to be very careful or they fall out, and then you have no support. I got this for my 15 year old son. Something tells me the bars are going to be coming out of place every time he’s on the bed. I just got on long enough to put a sheet on, and a bar came out. The end piece came out, now I can’t get the bar back into place. Also, one of the end pieces for the bottom of the metal frame was out when I opened the package. It wasn’t even with the part it was supposed to be, it was wrapped in with a different part. It was bent when I opened it, and I don’t believe for a second that it happened during shipping. Everything is individually wrapped, and like I said, the end piece wasn’t even with the piece it went to.
Other hat that, it was way easy to put together, I did it myself. There are numbers and pictures, I think my 6 year old could’ve put it together. I just wonder how it’s going to hold up when my 15 year old sleeps on it tonight.
Update... it’s been 3 months, and as I suspected, the crossbars do not hold up. It’s falling apart, and now I have to get a new bed!!!
Another update... we got this bed may 17th. Put it up that day. It is now September 5th...a whole 4 months later... the entire bed is falling apart!!!! My son is scared to even sit on it!

This is a really great platform bed. I think there are a few minor problems with this however

Pros:
-Leaves a lot of space under the bed for plastic storage bins, or to hide a vast magnitude of dirty laundry

-Sturdy bed, my wife and I are not small people and we have no fears of this holding together for us including if we were to express our inner child
and pretend it was a trampoline

-a good amount of support across the mattress with no rough edges, I don't believe this is going to harm your mattress in any way over time whether you have a flip pillow top or a single sided mattress. I use a 15" memory foam king size personally.

Cons:
-slick top, your mattress can slide around if its not too heavy
-because of the slick top it makes it really difficult to get a bedskirt to stay in place when putting the mattress over it.
-I would prefer it was just a bit higher as some XL bins don't fit
- Multiple supports in the middle, while they are necessary to keep the frame lighter, they make it a bit more tricky to organize longer boxes. It works, its just not as functional as I would like
-Assembly takes a while, and the tools are poor. If you have an impact driver with an allen head it goes much quicker but be careful not to strip the screws as they can mis thread or over torque easily.

I bought this to use as a support for my 6 inch Memory foam mattress. Wasn't sure what to expect out of a frame that cost less than a hundred. But I'm pleasantly surprised. Frame was easy to assemble, took me less than an hour. Everything is solid and sturdy, after I tightened everything down this frame hasn't moved. It stays in place, doesn't creak, and even below a 6" memory foam mattress I cannot feel the metal slats. Did I mention sturdy? Just to test how much it would support after I built it I climbed up on top of it and walked down the center of the frame. I should mention I'm 6 ft tall and 300 lbs.

FOR EVERYONE SAYING THE MIDDLE BEAMS DONT FIT:
I thought the exact same thing and was so frustrated and mad that I spent money on a defected item BUT then I just set the frame on its side and sorta pushed the outer beams inward and the middle bars fit. I tightened them while on its side and it was fine. Thank goodness! I just wrote this review to help all the one star reviewers out. I feel your frustration. Just flip it on the side and it’ll be okay to tighten then. Also, that is why I docked two stars. The instructions should have said that.

I would give it 4 stars, though with my own slight modification it became 5. I never had a platform bed frame before and was about to return it after realizing that my 8 inch foam mattress would easily slid over one side or the other whenever I moved. I had 2 thin sturdy metal book ends. I bent the bottoms so they would not stick out and placed them under two of the outside screws (mid side or each side).My bookends happened to very snugly fit between the side screws before I tightened the screws. You could do the same thing with a thin rigid piece of metal and two drilled holes for the screws. The bookends just go halfway up the side of the mattress. No more sliding mattress.

OMGOODNESS,OMGREATNESS, This frame was so easy to put together, every piece has a number if you can count up to 7 you can assembled by yourself in about one hour and 15min. But wait every screws is the same, you don't have to try and figure out what screws goes where. But wait, the give you 3 wrenches', alan, skate and a ribit. I put this frame together by myself. In no time, my husband was impress. I told you how easy it was.
The frame is strong, comfortable and sturdy. I have slept so well on this frame, I don't wake up stiff and tried. At first I brought a frame with wood slacks returned it the very next day without sleeping on it., in fact I didn't finish putting it together the frame was to small for mattress. I'm so glad I kept looking the high profile make my guest room so high end. This company send you a well thought out thank-you and send about 3 cards to sends to friends, just to say Hi who does that. ps the instruction no words just large pictures no glasses needed. LET Me SAY THANK YOU TO YOU..BeBless
