Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Ok so let me be real honest and say I am over 350+lbs. Don't ask and don't judge (we all have our problems) so I'm not a dainty flower. My hubby is around 270, so we needed a heavy duty bed! Me and my hubby put it together and we followed the exact directions, inspected the parts FIRST to make sure nothing was bent and we had all the pieces and proceeded. Once we put it together, we have had no problems with it! It does make some noise but hey it has a big load to carry so it's understandable. I also want to mention that I totally trust the strength of the slats and the girth of the legs and I'll explain why. I have 3 precious lil babies (dogs) that sleep under our bed. I would never put my babies at risk, so this bed is durable and strong. I will put a DISCLAIMER!! Watch where you put your toes, if you stub your toes on this bed, you may end up breaking them. So if you avoid the corner with your feet, you should be good! Also, this is a tall bed so I have a step stool at the end up the bed for my babies to get up here. It also would be perfect to store things, but we keep it simple and its just me and hubby, so we don't use it for that. Also, this thing was 60+ lbs when we got it, you will need a strong person who can manhandle it or two people to carry it. My hubby graciously brought the bed to our bedroom. I have a bad knee so I'm can't lift it at all. But we were successful in assembling it with no missing parts. We bought it months ago and it's still going strong!!! Also, I would recommend getting some type of wooden piece to put under he mattress. The reason for it, is that the slats are farther apart and it can damage the integrity of the mattress. I plan on getting a 1/4 inch plywood or sense hardboards just for some structure for the mattress so the design of the bed is made that when you lay on it it seems to keep the strength of that makes sense. It seems to reinforce itself when laid on. I can't speak highly enough of this bed. We love it! We have a spare bedroom and when we get around to putting a full in there, we will get this frame for it.
