Heavy Duty Steel Slats Platform Bed Frame - King Size, White | Box Spring Replacement, Mattress Foundation & Bed Raiser | Sturdy Support for Memory Foam, Hybrid & Spring Mattresses | Perfect for Master Bedroom, Guest Room & Dorm

Excellent frame! My wife and I took about 30 minutes to put this together and cut down/throw away all the cardboard boxes, plastic wrap, and foam at approx 2 am in the morning. We were tired after a long day and this is what we did last. This frame is not made cheap. It is far more sturdy then I expected. I'm a 250 lb man and my wife is about 150 lbs and this frame can hold our bed and us with ease. We ordered the queen size because our previous King was more bed than we needed. The key to successfully putting this together is to not tighten down any screw until the end. Hand tighten them all to about 1/8" from touching their heads on the metal rail. You will need to push and pull a bit to get some of the final holes lined up but as long as one of you has some muscle it shouldn't be too difficult. My wife isn't mechanically inclined but I am very mechanical. We had a breeze putting this together. Btw, check the velcro before assembling the pieces so that none of it falls off during assembly. We had a few pieces of velcro on the side rails that was still VERY tacky but was loose. We just lined up the velcro on its rail and pressed it down hard and ran our fingers up and down the rail a few times to make sure the velcro was tight to the rail this time. Fixed the velcro very easy. The hardware and tools that come with this frame are very few. I was surprised at how easy it was all to put together. The entire assembly comes with 15 bolts and 2 wing nuts and 2 matching Allen wrenches. By the time you get the outer assembly together, half the hardware is gone because each inside corner takes 2 of the bolts. Every rail was made very well. There was some light scratches here and there and I could see a little bare metal on the outside corners but it's a black frame that will never be seen once the outer wooden frame (found, built and/or sold separately) is placed around the frame anyhow. Also, note that the metal slats have plastic end caps that may need to be pushed in a little to be tight. If a cap is sticking out a little bit then the slat won't fit into the frame. I used my palm to tap them down tight and then the slats fit snuggly. Position your slats centered or the gap on each end won't be even and that will also change the load of the weight on the slats. Truly though this frame is so well built that an inch here or there is very unlikely to make a difference. Included are our pictures because we wanted to help others make an informed decision. The single issue we have with this frame is that there is no recess on the edges of the frame for your box spring or mattress to sit inside so the mattress or boxspring could slide around a bit. We knew this going into this purchase and we already knew we were going to build a wooden frame (with drawers built into the bottom under the frame) on the outside of this frame that would provide that lip we wanted. The wooden frame will look sharp and provides under frame storage. Just ordered a headboard for this and it will be delivered in about a week. I'll try to get back to this review and update pics. God Bless.
