Homelife Queen Platform Bed frame with Light Grey Linen Upholstery Modern 51" Tall Headboard - Sturdy Wood Slat Support Design No Box Spring Required

Let’s get the obvious out-of-the-way. This bed is absolutely beautiful. However, it has its flaws. Despite the flaws, it still deserves five stars simply because of the bang for the buck. There is nothing on the market that comes even close to a full king size headboard and frame for this cost! That HAS to factor in to the rating...and because of that, it allows me to look past some of the QC flaws that I personally experienced and have read in a few other reviews.The fabric is beautiful and of surprising quality. The silver beads along the wings are a beautiful and elegant touch without making it feel gaudy. Each individual ‘foot’ has an adjustment knob to ensure your bed sits level. At first I thought that was simply a nice, bonus feature. But after assembly I realized it was absolutely necessary. The center frame rails sit at different heights (some due to poor welding of the brackets that make them off center...see pictures). But because I could adjust the feet, I was able to level the bed (though it meant loosening two feet to the point of having all of the screw threads visible). I was able to assemble the king-size bed on my own, in huge part because of their creative brackets for attaching the side rails...hooks to hang one end while you screw in the other. Took me 2 hours from start to finish. 2 absolute musts for you: (1) ditch the Allen wrench and get a corresponding bit for a drill (lower the clutch so you don’t strip anything). These screws are long and the dinky wrench will take forever!!! (2) thumb tighten the side rails and footboard together first. Because it’s a cheaper bed, not all of the holes line up perfectly. By thumb tightening it, you ensure every screw a spot, while helping square up your bed. Finally, when you screw down the wooden slats, the picture in the instructions show it opposite of what it should be. The picture shows the fabric strap facing up, but it should be facing down. It is easy to tell this because the slats have felt glued to their underside where they make contact with the metal rails. You obviously want the felt on the metal, keeping it quiet.These are my thoughts and observations. Despite the poor welds in places, the bent and crooked brackets, the strong smell of the headboard (took a whole week to go away), and the fact that it seems a bit too long for a standard king (I can see the floor at the corners), I would still recommend this bed in a heartbeat. I cannot believe how little I paid. It sits very close to the wall and is secure (i.e. no bumping or wobbling during sex 🙌🏻).I attached pictures of everything I addressed in the review to help you in your decision! If you have a question, don’t hesitate to ask!! I was so skeptical thinking this bed is too good to be true...but it is *mostly true 😉😜UPDATE: 12/14/2018:We have been using this bed for over a year and I’m happy to report it is still functioning the same as day one! No structural weaknesses, no fading, no warping, it’s great! All of the beads remain intact. No loose threads! I’m dumbfounded how well this thing has held up!! We even added a kid to our family...and the bed held up great! 🙌🏻😬**2/6/2022 UPDATE: We have been using this bed now for over 4 years and it STILL looks as good as the day we bought it! No beads have fallen out. Not broken welds, nothing! I’m simply amazed. Another very cool feature worth mentioning: We recently moved across the country. When we packed up this bed, it was so simple because of it’s intuitive design: there is a hollow compartment on the rear of the headboard that fits the legs and hardware (this is how it comes shipped too). When we moved, we put the legs and hardware into the compartment and closed it with the provided fabric and Velcro enclosure. We wrapped the headboard in blankets, then used moving saran wrap around the entire piece. It arrived to our new location as good as new, and assembled just as easily as it should have! Note: side rails do not fit in storage compartment. We just wrapped those separately. If you still haven’t pulled the trigger on this bed at this point, then I have no clue what you’re doing with your life!!

Pros:The bed looks like it’s worth a vast amount more than 200$ and is breathtaking in style. It holds up very well to fun time but does squeak a little. Fast delivery service !!! The bed is very comfortable and doesn’t cause my high end mattress to fall between the slates. Easy to put together with two or more people. Very sturdy and stylish as well as being very heavy and feels high end. This bed is absolutely beautiful and well worth the money.Cons:Very unlikely to be put together by one person, it is heavy, bulky, and very difficult to put together alone.The box was miss handled by the delivery service, this isn’t the company’s fault they have no control over who handles it after it leaves their facility!!! It had huge holes in the box thankfully the bed wasn’t damaged! The boxes were also opened when they arrived!Instructions were a bit vague and hard to go by.When you put the bed together make sure it’s in the place you want it because it is rather heavy and hard to move after being built.Slight gaps between the headboard and frame. (No bigger than 3 inches on both sides)The bed is more of a warm grey then a cool grey, so it looks more tan than grey.During a session with a partner the bed will squeak a little, same with harsh moments of any kind. The slats are on the cheap side, and are very light weight to be holding an expensive mattress. The stitching was a little uneven and coming loose in places, and the way the fabric is attached is a bit sloppy. The fabric is also frayed a little in spots but those are not visible when the bed is put together. !You need a power tool to put the slats on correctly, so if you don’t have a battery powered drill with a screwdriver attachment then you will be forced to put the slats into a stable position the old fashioned way.... with a regular screwdriver... it isn’t to fun to do it this way as I had to.Conclusion:Amazing quality for the price would recommend to anyone needing a bed frame that looks very high quality on the surface. It’s an astonishing price and has exceeded my expectations!! I would definitely buy it again!

looks expensive for a good price. Really love this. its been a few years after i purchased this and i can put in a real review. I have moved 3 times with this and its still in great condition. very beautiful and simple
