I like it and am keeping it. Metal is hollow, but still thick and sturdy. Im about 190 lbs and I think it could handle 2 of me just fine. A few issues and things that would make it much better:
-The allen/hex key bolts are a slight size bigger then the allen tool provided and that causes it to start to strip the bolt once you start your final tighten, which may make this difficult to disassemble in the future. The allen tool set I own does not include a size that fits correctly.
- some of the loose metal punched out to put in bolt nutserts at the factory is left inside at least one of the sealed, hollow, metal beams. Should be fine, but Im annoyed knowing the metal bits are in there. I could only hear them moving around inside during assembly.
-having some kind of black rubber cap to hide the bolt heads would be a nice touch to add, though could add a choking hazard for small children.
-the frame does not have any raised lip to keep the mattress from moving side to side. Mine is fine, but a box spring with a solid base with no grip could slide around.
-I wish the corners at the feet-end of the frame were rounded or had some kind of padding. I know the day will come when my shins are going to understand why.
-A few small spots have the black paint chipped away. Only in spots you cant see when assembled, but maybe a small bit of black paint to touch-up those spots would be nice?
Add those things as a $10 or so add on and this would be perfect.
Great, but could be made perfect.
