Now if you are like me and bought this for a memory foam mattress then you are going to home depot and buying two sheets of like 11/32 plywood cut 29 1/2 by 80 and you are going to put that on top of the frame. ( i secured them with drilling 4 holes and using 4 zip ties to secure it to frame, but im just crazy like that.) then you put memory foam on top of that and you are in heaven for under 200 bucks.
So i would definitely recommend this!We bought this bed 6 months ago, at first we thought it was wonderful. We purchased it because we couldn't get the box spring up the stairs, and we needed a quick solution. The frame squeaks every time you roll over right from the start, at about month 3 we noticed that the bottom portion of the frame was starting to bend on both sides, and the legs to the frame are not very sturdy at all! Last night when our dog was laying on the bed alone (she is 85 lbs) the middle of the frame broke in half and the entire mattress caved in! Please note, we aren't skinny tiny people, but we certainly do not exceed, or come close to meeting the weight limit that this bed is supposed to support. So, now only after 5 months of use, we are forced to get another frame. Once the frame started to bend, it did nothing but give us back problems anyway, because the bed was at a constant slant. We also had problems with frame moving constantly ( Ie, would slide on the floor away from the wall every night) even with little to no movement in the bed. Easy set up out of the box, poor product and quality. Spend a few extra dollars and get something that is going to last.Bought this bed frame to replace my sagging queen box springs, and glad I did. I set my mattress directly on top and use a 3" memory foam topper to smooth it out. It's firm, but you can't feel the bars through through the mattress and topper. This frame is very supportive, and very sturdy. The bed has screw hole on all sides so it's great for attachment points if you're into the kinky stuff, or if you want to attach a headboard or other decorations. The bed frame squeaks a tiny bit if you move on it just right, but overall is quieter than the box frame I had. Folds up very compact, and will be extremely convenient when I move. It seemed pricey when I bought it, but you can feel the quality in the build. This thing was designed for prison and military beds, so I don't doubt I can take abuse. The only part I don't like is the queen set is just two smaller frames linked together by a bolt with wing nuts and a plastic spacer washer. I have a feeling the plastic washers are the weak link in this bed, but so far no problems!
Update: after a year, the bed is still holding up very well, even with 500lbs of tickle wars and wrestling. No regrets at all with this purchase.This bed seemed great at first -it was light and took five minutes set up. Because we move frequently, we thought it would be ideal.
One week later, the first of the small wires snapped. Other reviewers who are blaming their weight can rest easy (though obviously not on this bed): we weigh less than 250 pounds combined. The problem is that about 75% of the wires are welded on off-center. I'm not sure whether they were welded by a human or a machine, but it's pretty clear that he/she/it was drunk.
A couple of weeks later, I started wiping up flakes of paint when I cleaned underneath the bed. Sure enough, the "powder-coated" finish is starting to come off.
Given this economy, in which everyone keeps their belongings until they fall apart at the seams, one would hope that process would take more than a month.If you need a bed frame in a pinch and are a svelte individual, this is probably an ideal product for you. However, if you and your partner weigh in excess of 400 pounds total, expect this frame to bend, bow and ultimately break under the strain. The claim that each section can hold 1,200 pounds is simply not true and this product only gets two stars for the fact that the company was willing to replace the frame each time it broke (three times in total).
