Ive only had the mattress that goes on this bed frame for a short time so far so this review is just my initial impressions and Ill update if needed in the future. So far Im really happy with this frame, it has plenty of storage space underneath and seems to be built very solidly. As other reviewers have said it literally takes more time to take it out of the box than it does to put together: simply unfold the two halves (I got the California King frame, I believe the twin just has one fold out section), unfold the legs on either end, swing the supports onto the already placed bolts, and tighten the wing nuts. Repeat for the other half and then position the two halves next to each other insert the included large bolt into one side, put the rubber/plastic spacer on the bolt (between the two metal frames) then push the bolt through the other half and tighten the wing nut on the end, and then finally repeat on the other end. I did find that I needed a Phillips head screwdriver for this step to fully tighten the screw/bolt that holds the halves together, and I suspect that this extra tightening should prevent excess squeaking in the future.
Overall I am very happy with this frame. The price was perfect, it seems very sturdy (Im 62 and 320 pounds, so this was important to me), and it could not have been easier to put together.
Feel free to comment with any questions and Ill do my best to answer them. Very nice quality and looks nice.
