Amazon Basics Metal Platform Bed Frame, with Wood Slat Support, 6 inches High, Full, Black

Was a decent frame for the year and a half or so it lasted. It was pretty creaky and the middle support beam snapped in the middle of the night

This bed frame is exactly as pictured. The only thing I'm not sure about is the rounded corners of my mattress don't align with the frame so there is a small, but obvious, gap at each corner between bed and frame. In hindsight, I should have expected that considering that is how my mattress fits any base, but it never occurred to me. Since it's a platform style frame, the gap is very noticeable. I will get used to it, but if you're less flexible, here's your chance to think that over.Now let's talk assembly. This thing was a DREAM to put together. There are notches at all major joints so the pieces interlock and go together well. My main concern with buying a metal frame was the fact that the pieces always seem to wiggle loose over time due to the awkward design at the joints. These notches eliminate this concern. This frame may very well last for years, which wasn't exactly what I expected.All pieces are clearly marked. There's no guesswork involved. Don't undervalue this statement people. It took me less than 30 minutes to sort pieces and put it together.Amazon DID ship this via USPS and that is annoying. I admittedly did not read the shipping details, if there were any, when I ordered. USPS will not bring something this size to your door. The box is long , and a little heavy. It fit in my full size car with no additional passengers (through the trunk with seats down). Some people will not be able to load this alone. If transport is a concern, it's worth looking into before you buy. It was a nice day and the stars aligned so I was able to go grab mine with little inconvenience. No harm done here, but I did honestly purchase this from Amazon because I assumed it would be delivered to my door. Don't assume :D

I can't speak to the longevity of this item because I just got it. But, I can compare this item to similar low beds. Overall, it is well made. I think the problems about sturdiness in other reviews was solved. I weigh 240lbs alone and it supports me without shaking. What gave me concern was the thin wooden slats and the distance between them. Gaps between the slats in these types of beds can be felt if you don't have a thick mattress. Also, kids like to dive and jump on beds, so that could lead to broken slats. My solution was to supplement what's there by adding more and stronger boards between the ones you get. You can even staple velcro onto the new boards so they stay, but that's not necessary.The primary reason I chose to buy this product over other low beds is because of the arched bottom and top bar. It is a pretty design element, but for me, I like to elevate the top of the bed slightly (about 6"). Most low beds have no baseboard and this leads to the mattress slowly sliding off the bed frame. With the curved design, I doubt that will happen. Although I wish the curve was more pronounced to hold a bigger mattress. If I had my dream bed, the support legs would allow adjusting the height. When I tilt the bed up with risers, I have to find ways to support the mid-frame with books or blocks and that's not very attractive.However, most people will keep the bed flat on the ground so this bed is great for ordiniry use and worth the money overall.It was easy to put the bed together. You should know that they give you to wrenches, but no extra screws, so be careful not to lose them.

Like many buyers, I read the WORST reviews FIRST, then the good ones, check the dates to see if problems were old or newer and analyze the bad ones. I decided on this bed frame. This went together SUPERBLY! The picture instructions were understandable, all the bolts fit the holes and hand screwed in before tightening with the supplied allen wrenches (which also fit perfectly in the bolt heads, nice and deep) . I read one review that showed the middle bar twisting - that's because the buyers (who showed a picture) had the 2 side edges of the frame on the floor but the middle bar was on a rug....so it was like a three legged stool...only two of the three could touch the ground at once...so their weight shifted to one edge but that middle bar is designed ONLY for VERTICAL LOADS...so the one side slipped on the floor (as the other wasn't touching much at all), and over she went. ALL the bottom bars and the FEET on the middle bar MUST be on the same surface (that should be in the description quite frankly), be it the floor or the rug. Each of the 2 sections of slats were connected with Velcro strips which mated with the velcro on the side bars. Easy Piezy. I was so impressed I had to write this review. It comes in a REALLY LONG BOX, best for 2 to handle and ours did get torn abit at one end, but everything was there. One happy camper here! By the way, at only 6 inches high, there is little you can shove under the bed. In our case I had a 6 inch high box that I had to store below the bed.....it went in before the slats....and in our case, this box needed the maximum distance between the middle bar's feet to fit....and it did. Other frames just didn't have the opening we needed.....this one was perfect...now I don't need to access the box very much so that's the rest of the story. At six inches with the bars all being about 1 inch square, you have only about 4-1/4 inches to squeeze between the bars (except at the ends where in the middle the curved bar gives you a little more for some distance. One thing I can criticize is there is a slat gap at both the head and feet....I'd like to see that be addressed as an AIR MATTRESS does protrude downward thru the gap.....now there's not much weight on the bed NORMALLY in those areas, but still rubbing is occurring all the time. Over all a 4.99 out of 5.

Excellent value for the money. Easy to assemble. Very sturdy and durable. Fits the mattress perfectly.

Easy to assemble, very sturdy, quiet and nice and low to the ground still. I could improve nothing about this product.

This base platform full sized bed was just what we needed. Our old full sized bed was too high for us to get into due to our health conditions. We both have physical disabilities, I myself have a spinal condition, my wife has a hip and leg condition which made it hard for us to get in and out of. This new bed was the answer to our health issues, very comfortable, very easy to get in and out of, closer to the floor and the gravitational pull, which height makes a considerable amount of difference all way round. Thank you Amazon for your product, fast & efficient delivery and customer service. Wayne & Jennifer Shortt-Button

It looks great, was super easy to assemble even by myself. The only issue is that a queen mattress is 80 inches long and the bedframe is 79.5. I had expected this to be the inside dimension and that a mattress would just fit snugly but it's the full length including the headboard and footboard. This means the mattress sits on top of both ends, hiding the aesthetic curves. The side measurements are also a half inch smaller but this is a plus as it seems to prevent the steel from attacking my legs and feet. Super sturdy and quiet. No motion transfer when the dog is playing!
