Twin XL Bed Frames - 18 in Sturdy Platform Bed Frame Twin XL, Heavy Duty Metal Bed Frame No Box Spring Needed, Quick & Easy Assembly, No Noise, Black

This bed frame is fantastic to start with. Excellent design, extremely well packaged, light wt but strong, assembled in 15 min on a rug. I did 1 thing different. I added black nylon (plastic) washers under every bolt head. Lg & small. Likely not needed, but I had some, there was room for them, perfect fit, & easy to remove or replace. No metal on metal, noise, wobble or stressed or stripped bolts. If it wasn’t on a rug, I’d add felt pads under the feet caps. The parts of this frame are so nice, if it’s ever damaged, I’ll use the parts for something else & buy a new one. Finally making the bed is a pleasure & I can’t wait to hide all my junk under it. Very happy. Update. I noticed a problem (for me). 3 hidden legs on the outsides, that I’m not used to, are toe breakers.

Super easy to put together, sturdy too!

I love this platform. I do not need a boxspring. It is 18 inches off the ground so I can shove boxes and of things that I need to keep close to my bed and it serves as extra storage area. This is a great platform and it has a recorded weight of 1800 pounds and I have to admit I’m a big girl so sitting on the bed and moving around doesn’t bring me dread. In fact, I talked my roommate who had a blowup mattress to get the platform and put the blowup mattress on it and she loved it. She was waiting for her bed to come in, but she was really rethinking the mattress and the boxspring. these platforms will make boxsprings obsolete really obsolete.

Good beds overall. I got these for my teen boys... they're probably better for children or petite people... not as sturdy, but easy to assemble and doing the job for now.

Initially, this bed frame worked — but directions for set-up are overly complicated and the corresponding parts should be “colored coated” [marked better] to expedite the process of assembling it! Here’s the problem! The directions state to tighten the screws to assure the bed is sturdy, I did! I would not have purchased this frame because after tightening screws—while the frame remained sturdy for guests—I am unable to take the frame apart because of the following: STRIPPED ALLEN SCREWS! THERE ARE RUINED ALLEN SCREW SOCKETS PREVENTING FOLDING / INABILITY TO DISASSEMBLE… It’s possible that I overtightened the screws—thus leaving the surface area and friction between the screw threads and the hole, making it impossible to remove. I cut my fingers [got gashes from screwdriver] trying to remove screws that are now stripped and stuck. I tried online suggestions without success: I used WD40 LUBRICANT OIL to loose screws, & every screwdriver head possible. I even used the rubber band technique… The Allen wrench no longer fits the screw heads and I am stuck with a frame on the floor. I am not willing to hire a service person to use a specialized tool like a screw extractor or a star bit, or use a method like cutting a new slot with a Dremel for a flathead screwdriver or pliers…[as recommended by my online research…] The cost to do this is more expensive than purchasing the bed! In conclusion, there has to be a more simplified way to make a bed frame using slots for the slacks to fit together, rather than screws that may not be removable! I will never again buy a bed frame that requires such assembly with FLAT HEAD HEX SOCKET CAPS AND THESE KIND OF SCREW BOLTS! I now hope to replace this item for a foldable sturdy frame, preferably one with screwless connectable slots!

This was pretty easy to put together, though a second pair of hands to just hold pieces steady might have helped. Overall it only took me about a half an hour and at least a third of it was opening the box! Once together, this is sturdy and does not wobble or make noise. This was to replace a creaky lofted bed that my kid was having trouble sleeping in. He has slept much better in this and says it's very comfortable. There is a great amount of space beneath it for storage. Regular under bed boxes might look a little weird because they'll have so much extra room on top, so I'm still looking for the best way to maximize that space. I think it looks really good in his room, very unobtrusive.

Great bed frame, very high and provides ample storage underneath which is fantastic. Does not rock or squeak and fits the mattress perfectly.
