I ordered a platform bed 2 months ago because we didnt have a bed frame when a friend in California sent us a new bed mattress for Christmas. Our new bed mattress is a queen. We discovered the bed frame is missing so I ordered a platform bed. We really like it. It looks like a Florida style.
Instructions made no sense because one piece had the letters and numbers upside down. Finally after 2 of us attempting to assemble, we realized the problem. After one use by a 120 lb woman, I just noticed bed split. Very disappointed in the whole purchase.
We bought this bed frame because we had previously bought a king size frame for a nightly rental we operate. That bed was and has been amazing! Im not sure what happened between now and then, but this frame was very, very disappointing. The hardware it came with would not catch and therefore the frame could not be assembled. I remember with the king bed being so impressed. Who knows? Maybe I got lucky with that one, or unlucky with this one. Either way, the hassle it created isnt worth a 3rd attempt. Ill try something else!
Since my bed is in front of a window, I had to have a headboard. I searched for months and finally found this one. I liked that its wood, easy to assemble, sturdy, and looks great. I purchased an 11-inch hybrid mattress, so the bed is now about 23 off the floor. Thats perfect for me. Also, I like to prop up on pillows and read occasionally, so this headboard works for that.
Its very aesthetically appealing and thats about it. It lasted about 3 years, but like others have said, the center metal support legs buckled and the center beam warped soon after purchase, becoming effectively useless. I had to buy another support system in the meantime. Eventually that too broke and the bed sagged in the middle. When we disassembled it, the frame was starting to crack, probably from the pressure of supporting the bed without the center beam. When I bought this bed a few years ago, the listed recommended weight was only 500 pounds. It now says 700 pounds. I dont know if that is because they have changed the way the bed is made or because they are trying to deceive buyers. I dont think this bed is very durable. You get what you pay for. If you are heavier or put any physical strain on this bed, it could break.
As I was building this, I was really impressed with how high the quality was and how idiot proof they made the instructions. Ive assembled a lot of furniture recently and this was the best experience by far. The only reason for the 4 star rating though was because the threads stripped on the metal floor piece when I was assembling it so I am now one piece short of a having a complete bed. And the final bolt assembly on the cross member took some considerable force to line up. But honestly, I still love the bed.

Great bed
Looks great. Very solid and easy to assemble
Easy assembly
Put together by myself (50 yr female) no issues at all. Great price and sturdy.
Beautiful Platform Bed

good quality
It was easy to assemble and looks great
Frustrating instructions, wood split after one use
Instructions made no sense because one piece had the letters and numbers upside down. Finally after 2 of us attempting to assemble, we realized the problem. After one use by a 120 lb woman, I just noticed bed split. Very disappointed in the whole purchase.
Worth it
My mother purchased a bed from another manufacturer and paid $1000. I liked it and had a much more cost effective frame like my moms Love it!
A roll of the dice!

Amazing build quality with easy to follow instructions
