First, I have to point out that the rounded corners are what actually sold me on this frame compared to all the rest. I have a 2 year old. Sharp corners at nearly face level just arent happening. Its also one less thing to accidently bang your knee on going by it. Lol
The warranty was a close second on the selling points. I knew if there was an issue, however frustrating, we could get it figured out.
That being said, if you hate floppy headboards and creaky frames as much as I do, youll like this frame. It will also work well with one of those wall mounted headboards if thats what youre hoping to do. This frame has been a welcome change from the bed on the floor. My husband is 300+ and we are a couple months in with no problems so far. We got the storage I wanted, the height he needed, and the bamboo slats arent as rigid as metal slats when you need something with a teeny bit of give for the sake of your back. Combined with the metal rails, its as sturdy as we hoped.
Assembly was a little tricky cuz one of the rails was slightly bent, and one bolt had messed up threads -nothing major. Thankfully we had the tools on hand to straighten the rail so we could slide the post through, and a drop of vegetable oil got the bolt in without stripping.
The only down side is if you use a safety rail on the bed for toddlers it has to be checked often. If you dont, the support feet for the safety rail can pop between the bed slats. This is actually where having velcro to fasten the slats is a plus for me. We positioned the slats we wanted the rail to sit on just so, so theyre completely supported. Beautiful Addition to My Home
Rounded corners are a must with toddlers...
