To be fair, I have not actually slept on this bed yet, nor put a mattress on it, but it is assembled and seems very sturdy. While everything is still fresh, I will leave my review now and perhaps revise it after I have (literally) slept on it.
The box it arrives in is heavier than I anticipated. Given that a few select reviews mentioned issues of the center legs not being long enough as compared to the four corners, I carefully laid everything out straight from the box and measured all the legs with a tape measure to make sure that they were all the same size // fortunately, they were (16 inches).
The assembly instructions were generally straightforward but it took a little extra effort to make sure that I was using the correct screws and bolts when I was supposed to. The instructions do explain it, but it isnt as clear as it might be. Still, anyone who doesnt just forge ahead and instead proceeds deliberately should have no problems.
It came with one extra screw than was necessary for the corners. All of them fit the holes and were long enough, but two of them happened to not completely fit the little provided screw driver. No screwdrivers that I had would work on it, so for that single one (like I said, there was an extra) I had to use a pair of pliers that I had handy to help make sure that it was fastened tightly.
Again, remembering that a few scant reviews said that the wooden slats were not long enough, I was pleased to see that all of mine properly fit in my Full size bed frame. The distance between all of the wooden slats is between 3 and 4 inches // thats great because this bed will allow me to place my mattress directly on it without any other support (my mattress specifies that the distance can be no greater than 4 inches).
Assembly took me about an hour. There are a number of holes in all three legs at the head of the bed to easily accommodate a headboard.
The clearance under my 16 inch frame is es // Ill be using all of it for storage space.
The bed feels very sturdy and safe and I really look forward to getting a mattress on it and sleeping on it.
One more thing: though it advertises that this Full bed frame is 54 inches wide and 75 inches long, Im happy to say that in reality it is about half an inch less in both cases. This is good news for me because I like the fact that the mattress will be just about half an inch larger and I can avoid hitting the frame when getting in and out of bed. Buy It.
So far, so good
