So I had been looking at all the raised bed frames on Amazon for quite some time. I very much needed to get my queen bed off the floor as I wanted something that would raise it up higher than the traditional caster style bed frame. I didn't need anything fancy but I was amazed at the variety of style and prices. I have taken photos of how it's packaged and the progression of the assembly which wasn't too hard. The only thing I would highly recommend to the manufacturer is that they need to be more detailed on the attachment of the legs. I am normally pretty good at assembling things but I was perplexed by the leg attachment for a bit. I also had two extra bolts/washers that I'm assuming they purposely included. There's no mention that you will have these extra parts. As for attaching the legs, you will have a receiving end that needs to be flushed with the legs and them you will see an opening on the frame part that is a 1/4 loop for lack of a better term that the leg should slide into. There is no mention in the directions to use the hex key to expand the receiver part in the leg piece which allows it to stay in place and lock into the bed frame. The directions are very limited. If you are a visual person then you'll end up looking at the picture of the bed most of the time. I'm very happy with the bed and the bamboo wood strips which are attached by fabric are quick, light weight and easy to throw on to complete the bed. I put the whole bed together alone and in a little over an hour just because I was baffled by the legs going on as mentioned above. So glad I was able to buy it with the Prime days savings. If money wasn't such an issue for me I would have gone with the folding platform instead as those couldn't be any easier. What an easy way to get beds up at a good level for those of us with back issues. My only issue is I have banged my toes and shin on the legs and frame a few times when not paying attention. So watch for that in the beginning. I am looking for a way to make some kind of a bumper on the corners. I do recommend buying this particular bed frame. Does the job for my needs for sure! The directions are fairly limited. You could probably find an assembly video on YT but it's pretty straight forward on getting assembled. Just get all your pieces laid out and make sure you don't lose the included ratcheting tool which makes assembly much faster.
We bought this for our toddler sons room. It was super easy to put together. I loved that it came with a small ratchet to make the assembly quicker and easier! The wooden slats also have Velcro that attaches to the frame to help keep them from moving. It feels very sturdy, looks great, and is a great height for kids with no sharp corners! We hope this will last our son through this childhood!
Bought this Queen frame for guest bedroom. Package arrived quickly, while the box was a bit beat up, everything was securely packed and all the pieces inside were securely wrapped. The instructions were clear and easy to follow, all the pieces are numbered so assembly is pretty simple if you read the directions. The frame comes with a small ratchet tool to make it easy to secure and tighten all of the bolts. All the holes lined up correctly, all the correct pieces and hardware arrived and the pieces all fit together securely. Took me about an hour to assemble by myself, taking the time to lay out the pieces, read the instructions in advance and taking my time.
The metal bed rails feel strong and secure. They have a nice metal finish with no imperfections.
The bed slats that support the mattress come connected by a piece of cloth and you roll the whole thing out on the frame and secure with velcro. Would have preferred that the slats be a bit heftier and attach more securely than with velcro but you get what you pay for.
The frame looks nice, the quality and finish of the materials is good, no complaints there. The frame feels secure and stable. The mattress fits perfectly.
As it is for a guest room, we have not used the bed yet so cannot comment on noise etc. Based on everything so far, I expect that it will be fine.
Very happy with our purchase, didnt want to spend a ton of money on guest bedroom for a bed that will not get a ton of regular use and this frame was a great option

Looks pretty good. Good bed frame. easy to install.
We've only been using it for a few days but it has not protested at all so far, even when my 280 lb 6'4 husband dropped onto it exhausted. I'm not small either but it doesn't seem to have any problems with our sizes. It was very easy and straightforward to assemble (although the ratchet key needs rethinking, the bit you hit to change direction is in exactly the right spot to hit the bars as you try to use it) and as I said, I was able to unpack and assemble it alone in under 20 minutes while trying to convince my brother that I didn't need to go to the hospital. Husband and brother had to work together to get the mattress on it though. The non-slip straps on the slats are a nice touch, and they appear to work too.
It's so much nicer than a box spring. I hate them so much.
Update: Turns out I did in fact need to go to the hospital so, more accurately, I assembled it in under 20 minutes while actively trying to die from an abdominal abcess. The bed still doesn't squeak, the mattress hasn't moved, and I am definitely replacing the other box springs in the house with these.
UPDATE: Six months in, it still hasn't even squeaked. If you need a cheap, simple, reliable bed base, this is it.
Another update: Over a year in and we still haven't had so much as a squeak. Husband's health hasn't been great and he has been pretty much bed bound for months. The bed still has all the original slats too. If I ever need to buy another bed it'll be one of these.
I read all the reviews prior to purchasing this bedframe. As such, I was a bit hesitant to order it because of the negative reviews (I was concerned about wasting my money). After thinking about it for a few weeks I decided to risk it. Glad I did.
I put it together myself in about 20 minutes. All the pieces came in great shape, and the instructions were easy to follow. I then cut down my 4 inch twin memory foam mattress to a 31 inch width to fit, and laid down on it. Wow, was it ever comfortable and strong! I am a mature big beautiful woman, a back sleeper who weighs around 230 pounds--a person who moves around only a little bit when sleeping. I tested it out, moving around on my side too several times. It never creaked, sagged, or moved below me. That without removing the sticky tape to keep the mattress from moving. I'm hoping to post some photos here in the future.
Other things I like about it are, compared to other similar bed frames, that the slats are close together giving better support, the velcro keeps them in place doing their their job, it'll be easy to disassemble if I need to for storage, and that it's light weight.
I can't speak to the other negative reviews, including the one who's product arrived damaged or broke soon after they got it (which I would be upset about too), only to my own experience so far--which is good. The only reason why I gave it 4/5 stars is because I feel it should have two additional legs, one on each side in the middle, for extra longer-term support. I may cut some extra pieces of wood to do that myself.
Now, I can't give it a review for using it as a regular bed, to sleep on it every night (which I won't be doing). However, for my camping needs in sleeping on it for a few days to a week or so at a time, I can see it holding up just fine.
I would also recommend buying a good memory foam mattress for it too--as it is so much more comfortable than regular camping foam mattresses I have used in the past. And, like another reviewer, I have ordered some bed leg risers to increase it's height so I can store more camping gear underneath (great idea!).
Overall, very good product!
If you are used to inexpensive wooden bed frames, be prepared to move to the next level. The wooden ones do the job, but they are not meant to be taken apart and re assembled too often. They tend to loosen up and get sloppy. I thought I'd give a metal bed frame a go instead. This one bolts together, yet it doesn't look at all industrial and the fit of the pieces is pretty good. No weird blind nuts and threaded tubes either. Its all done with bolts. You even get a ratchet wrench with it. Yes, it has a center post, and the wooden slats are held in with Velcro; none of the "other" style with the slats held in with peg posts at the end. The slats are one piece - they go across from side to side in one length and are held in place with Velcro. I am SO tired doing hand to hand combat with 2 piece slats with the peg posts on the first slat Grrrrrr..... . So what stops the mattress from sliding off the end? Two slats have a sticky strip that the mattress sits on. Its literally held on with double sided tape. No worries. The Velcro slats and the sticky tape have the mattress locked down good.
This bed frame is SOLID. Its nothing special.... not really, but it does the job with little drama and is dead easy to put together. They even give you some extra bolts. By the way, there are no nuts. The bolts thread into the metal pieces.
This is an excellent bed frame. For what I paid and having dealt with wooden bed frames (think imported from a Scandinavian company) this is NO contest. I'd do it again in a heart beat. Inexpensive wooden bed frames? I'm done.
