**UPDATE**I’ve had this frame for 2.5 years, and over the past couple of weeks my mattress has been sagging slightly, and when I moved the frame to vacuum I heard a clanging sound… Assumed that—most certainly—I had finally broken this frame due to my weight. After I lifted the mattress to check out the damage, I was shocked to find that the center support had merely fallen off: from my most recent move, it appears that the movers didn’t tighten the support center bolts when reassembling the frame! Ten minutes of realigning bars and tightening bolts, this frame remains good as new: a totally unexpected delight. I’m updating this review laying on my mattress, once again fully supported with no sagging… if you’re reading this? Buy it. An exceptionally made product underscored by sustaining no damage even without the center support beam attached for a spell.(Former Review)I have elected to sleep with a mattress on the floor for the majority of the past seven years after three ill-fated moments featuring a bed frame from IKEA (particle board snapped clear through when I sat on it), one of the so called “heavy-duty” fold out frames (endless creaking), and my last investment in 2015 of another “heavy-duty” frame where the slats cracked literally on the first night.I currently weigh ~400+ pounds, and most frames cannot handle the static weight of a singular body of this mass plus the weight of a mattress due to stress points and poor manufacturing. I’ve waited a couple of months to provide feedback on this piece... let me tell you, this frame is THE ONE. 1) There is no creaking or squeaking. 2) The foundation is supported 360-degrees with welding, so the weight distribution is phenomenal. 3) The middle bar and legs have not cracked, bent, or warped (likely due to the exterior construction), and at the 30-day mark when I removed the mattress to tighten up the bolts for preventive maintenance, they had hardly loosened at all, indicating very little frame motion impact with my body weight.I live with a disability that is physically kicking my a** due to balance and coordination issues, and the ability to get in and out of bed easier and safer—vs. when the mattress was on the ground—is life changing. It’s so much nicer to leave rehabilitative physical therapy and crawl into a bed that is higher off the floor... and not have to worry about something snapping.Don’t hesitate. Assembly was a breeze... and it looks good, too.
