Alecono Full Size Bed Frame 14 inch, Heavy Duty Steel Slat Mattress Foundation with No Box Spring Needed Easy Assembly Full Bed Frame Noise Free and Large Underbed Storage Space Platform Bed Black

First off, there was no assembly guide. Just one sheet instructing you to use a rubber mallet to ensure each metal bar was pounded securely in place. I looked everywhere through the box and within and around the plastic-wrapped bars to make sure I hadn't overlooked a guide. There wasn't one. There is **no** indication anywhere on the product page that the seller will email you a Youtube-specific video guide to putting the frame together, so I did not realize that was a thing until the following morning, **after** I had finally assembled the frame.I did realize that there was a picture of the assembled frame on the outside of the shipping box, which served well enough to indicate how each piece fit together. But I spent an unreasonable amount of time looking for the nonexistent assembly guide and wondering why on earth one had not been included.(The sellers need to clearly specify on the product page that there is no manual included in the shipment and that buyers will instead receive a link to a video at some point of the seller's choosing. There is no excuse for not doing this).Using that picture, I got the frame assembled, but it definitely would have been a faster and easier project with a buddy to help. Some of the bars fit smoothly into place, whereas others had to be forced in with the help of said mallet. Notably, the sections that fit together without force, easily came apart. It was not possible to fit them together securely enough to ensure that they would not come loose - moving to the next section of the frame often resulted in a previous section sliding apart. This almost certainly was the issue of not having a second pair of hands to help hold finished sections in place while working on the next part - so do try to make sure you have someone to help put it together, and also do not count on the mallet (or a cloth-wrapped hammer) fixing the railing into place such that it won't come loose.So. It was not a difficult project, but it took a while to complete, since I was constantly having to re-assemble bars that kept coming loose. Once the frame was finally set up and in place on the floor, it proved stable enough to do its job. I do NOT think that the rails which actually hold the mattress are very secure...if I were to remove the mattress and fiddle with the frame, I fully expect that several of those rails would pop loose. However, with the weight of the mattress in place that doesn't seem to be an issue. The frame does not shift and move about and as far as I can tell is as stable as it needs to be.So in the end, the frame does what it is supposed to do, but it was frustrating to put together, and nowhere near as satisfyingly assembled as a bed frame should be. I would not recommend this frame at all. I won't buy from this company ever again.

This frame was the perfect solution for me. I didn't want anything that was ornate or gaudy.Frame was easy to put together and I liked its overall size and weight. At my age its sometimes difficult to move heavy things, and this frame was perfectly easy for me to position where it needed to be.I am using the frame as a support for a Nectar mattress and it fits the bill for me. Now when I need to clean under the bed I can move the mattress and the frame with just a little effort.My only real issue (reason for 4 stars) is that I find it hard to keep the top sheet tucked in at the bottom. It's not really an issue that interrupts sleep, but it's just something that may be annoying to someone else.Overall I'd recommend this frame to anyone who wants something sturdy and needs a quick fix.

So far I'm loving this frame. Assembly was a breeze and it's very sturdy. Style is minimalist, you could store stuff under it easily but I don't because it's just tall enough to be able to see anything under there easily. I added rope lights to ours and love the look.

The frame seems sturdy but the lock in place parts are poorly machined. Some of them did not actually slot into place until we got hammers and mallets involved to force them in despite following the assembly instructions perfectly. This means that when I have to disassemble it the next time I move, half the parts will come apart like they are supposed to, and half will not. I won't be able to carry it as a whole like I could a normal frame (since some parts easily slot out when pulled) and I wont be able to fully disassemble it and put it into a box (since some would require pliers and a ton of force to remove now).UPDATE: A customer service was extremely helpful and was able to promptly address my issues. In light of that, I've changed my review to reflect how helpful they were. I no longer have any complaints.

DO NOT GET THIS BED IF YOU HAVE A THICK MATTRESS. This is designed for thin mattresses…almost like the ones that come default in college dorm rooms. Just put my memory foam mattress that is about 11” thick on the frame and the head board doesn’t even look like a head board anymore…more like a footboard (refer to photos). I even left my old headboard in the background for reference. But yeah if you have a mattress thicker than 8” (as far as mattress height) I would not recommend this frame. (And 8 is pushing it…the little gap between the barred base and the headboard is about 6 inches, so if you want the full headboard showing, a mattress 6” or thinner is the best option. But yeah they should’ve designed the headboard to be higher up.It was very easy to assemble though, took me less than 30 mins to do. And so far it does seem sturdy.But yeah not really happy with the purchase because of the headboard but keeping because I don’t feel like disassembling it and sending it back.

I have put together a lot of furniture, from easy to complex. This bed frame was the easiest thing I have ever put together! I have a very bad back but was able to assemble it quickly. Pictorial instructions are easy to follow. Used a rubber mallet to tap one part in place, but all others slid together with no problem. Package arrived without issue. No missing or damaged pieces. VERY sturdy. I am using this twin frame as a daybed and it holds our two heftiest people sitting on it without a problem as compared to the daybeds being sold which do not have the same weight capacity. Purchased quilted daybed cover and some extra shams and pillows and it looks great! Very satisfied with this frame. Will buy again when I am in need of a solid frame.
