This platform frame was just the height I needed, and it seems very sturdy.
Two things:
Be aware that the frames holes for a headboard may not line up with your existing headboard. Ours could not be bolted in, so the handyman who assembled the bed frame instead strapped the headboard to the wall.
Also: There are metal legs on the center of each side as well as at the corners of the frame, a feature that our previous, conventional bed frame did not have. The legs are not recessed at all, and they are very easy to stub ones toes against. My husband didnt realize there was a center leg on his side of the new bed, and he immediately banged his bare foot against it so hard that his little toenail began to bleed profusely. Luckily he did not lose the toenail. but his foot was very sore and his toe had to be bandaged for a couple of weeks. However, to prevent this happening again, I got some 3M-adhesive cushioning pieces, such as are used for protecting toddlers from furniture corners, and now they are in place on the frames top corners and legs, to protect OUR legs and feet.
Good sturdy product, but two caveats...
