SHA CERLINGrey Metal Bed Frame Queen, Industrial Wooden Platform Base with Rivet Headboard and Footboard, No Box Spring Needed

This bed frame is well designed and well manufactured. The parts fit! Only one screw hole had a burr in it and I was able to carefully ream it out with a Phillips bit.The manual is well written ​​except for the last two steps.1. Placement of cross members. ( Don’t worry about the little plastic pieces​, "buckles", until later. )The ​first goal is to insert the cross members between the side rails.​ All of the cross members, "K", should be securely in place before proceeding to step 2. In order to do this, one side rail must be loose​ned in order to accommodate the length of cross members. In addition, cross members must be placed in order starting at the midpoint of the frame and working towards the head or foot of the bed, respectively. This allows for the necessary width between bed rails for sequential placement of the cross members. As each cross member is placed sequentially, the distance between left and right side rails gradually decreases until all the cross members for the top half or bottom half of the bed frame , respectively, are in their proper place. The trick is to keep each cross member in place while fitting the next one. When all the cross members are in, ​and side rails are again tightened, you are ready for the last step.2. Inserting ​t​he buckles on each end of all cross members. The manual gives a brief instruction but the graphic and instructions need additional information.Notice the shape of the square holes in the side rails. They are square with a notch at the bottom. (p. 8, Fig. 1 & 2) Notice that when the cross member "K" is properly fitted, the bottom of "K" is flush with the bottom of the rail. It may be necessary to jiggle the cross member back and forth until it is properly seated.Take a good look at one of the little ​b​lack buckles. Notice the slot at the bottom.​ (p.3, Fig."L") This slot needs to straddle the top of the flat end of the cross member​, K. Also notice the ​top of the barbed flanges. This part needs to fit into the ​top of the square hole in the side rail. ​With the buckle positioned at a 45' angle, it must then be squeezed into the hole until the flanges are inside the hole and hooked inside the wall of the hole​. Pliers are helpful! Protect the outside of the rail from scratches.I tried to other add photos here but no go. See pages 3 and 8 of the manual.The bottom notch of the buckle must straddle the top of K while the top of the barbed flanges must be inserted into the top of the square hole. With K fully seated, place the plastic "buckle" atop K at a 45' angle, / , and with the top of the flanges entering the top of the square hole. With fingers or pliers press the buckle into the hole until the barbed flanges SNAP into place.

it came early, package was in great shape, and everything i needed was in the box!Just a few things i would like to make certain that are explained. first, please read the directions, the first thing when putting anything together is to NOT tighten the screws all the way, until its completed. If you do you might have trouble getting the center slat rails to fit into their slots. Second, all the parts labeled, and are supposed to go where the directions say they go. Before i made this purchase i found a 1 star review with pictures written by Marlissa Butler, i read the review and made the purchase, crossing my fingers that i didnt get a defect in MY order! After building the bed i went back to her review, looked at the photos and noticed immediately that she didnt put the feet from the headboard on the correct sides. the screws pictured on the outside are actually supposed to be on the inside, and having them in the incorrect position would make all the cross bars not fit on the frame correctly. (it also would make the bed more narrow on one end then the other) Just make sure you go slow and put things where they are supposed to go.All of that being said, I love this bed. I personally havent slept on it as its for my 13 year old son and hes way over the age of sleeping with mom :) he is using his mattress from the old frame and he absolutely loves it. The colors in the "woodgrain" at the headboard and footboard they also have some texture n its really nice! The bed frame is supported by 9 "feet" (including the 4 you see on any normal bed frame). I really like this because im sure my son just throws himself on the bed like any other kid. There are like 2 inch rails on the sides that you screw in to make sure the mattress stays in place, i love that the company also gives you these lil rubber things that slide over the metal to keep your mattress (or you) from getting cut by them. We havent come into contact with them at all, but just incase, as a mom i appreciate the nice safety precaution!The center slats that support the mattress can jiggle a little bit and they make noise, the company did put something on the center long bar to help keep them from making noise. I squeezed a lil hot glue under each one to just stop them from making the metal jingle sound. If you have double sided tape that will work too.All in all i gave it 5 stars, i think its beautiful, only took me about 30 mins to build it alone, all of the parts are excellent quality, and the directions were really easy to understand.ill write back in a few weeks to leave an update as we have only had the frame for a few days now!

Easy to put together. Beautiful bed. I didn’t give 5 stars because I have not had it long enough to see if it stays together well.

Easy to assemble! Such a well thought out design. It is heavy metal. The frame is super sturdy and does not make any noise. Looks like I will have this frame for a long time.

This bed was a breeze to assemble, even for someone like me who's not handy. The instructions were clear and all the parts fit together perfectly. It feels really sturdy and well-made, not flimsy at all. I've been sleeping on it for a while now and it's super comfortable. Definitely a great buy!

I was looking for really nice and really inexpensive bedframe for a spare bedroom and feel lucky I found this. The look is very easy to work with & neutral so it's very easy to design around.It's sturdy for the price and can handle up to a 14 inch mattress without taking up to much of the headboard.I have a 16 inch mattress on it, but it still looks OK. Would I rather have a 12 inch? Sure.It was easy to put together and didn't take very long.This would also be a great kids bedframe in a pinch. FYI you will always have better options on mattresses if you spring for the queen over the full, if you have the space.Oh and it was delivered much sooner than the timeframe they gave, I was shocked at how fast it came in. Great customer service.Honestly shocked at how well this worked, I'm super pickyAlso it's barely more than the cheapest metal only bedframe, so I'm wondering what some of these folks are expecting at this price???

Beautiful and easy directions to follow.
