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

Purchased this platform bed and absolutely love it! It was very easy to assemble and it even came with its own tools so I didn’t have to have anything or purchase additional tools to put together. The instructions were easy to read. Very solid frame. Also the bottom has rubber grips so it is functional on hard or carpeted floors. Love how reasonably priced this was as well.

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

Great bed for kids transitioning from crib or toddler beds into normal bed frames. Definitely best for toddlers still potty training. Easy to assemble both beds were assembled with in 30 mins :). Only reason it didn’t get full 5 stars is because when moving across the floor it ripped my toenail off my big toe so when moving watch your feet and or ware shoes when moving the frames :). Another problem I have is the slats are extremely bendy and not very much weight can be put on the bed less then 100# I’d say is safe. I have an autistic 3 yr old who loves jumping on everything and is not potty trained he jumps on the bed with no issues the slats are bendy and flexible but not sturdy for hold my weight (190#) or my sisters weight (120#) so we can’t lay on the beds with the kids. But good for kids starting out :)

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.

I bought this a while ago, and I've just now decided to post a review. From the beginning this was an issue. It's literally falling apart. I can't sit on my own bed without the panels on the bottom giving out and my mattress caving in. I'll wake up and I'm almost on the floor. I've been trying to put off having to buy a new frame, but I'm going to have to. The bars at the end have fallen apart so the foot of the bed has no support, and it's just so frustrating. It scares my dog so much he doesn't even want to sleep in my room anymore. Horrible product, I wouldn't get it for my worst enemy.

Just what I was looking for. Just the right height. Easy to assemble
