I buy a lot on Amazon and rarely write reviews, but I'm breaking character today because I think these frames are wonderful, and I want people to know about them. I was looking for a super-minimal frame in a loft with very little headroom, to get two twin mattresses off the floor to prevent mold. This frame ticks all the boxes for me.
Bottom line:
-Very simple, minimalist design. I think it actually takes a lot of work and design iterations to make something this simple and do it well.
-All the support and air circulation your mattress needs with only a few inches of added thickness. Great for lofts and other low-clearance/sloped ceiling bedrooms!
-These frames are sturdy and well built. They don't creak even a little bit, and provide good support along the entire mattress.
-The edges of the frames line up nicely with the edges of the mattress - so if you need to pull two together to make a larger bed, that will work just fine.
-Lots of little thoughtful details, like rounded corners and edges, and joints that fit together snugly. Neither you nor your bed linens will catch on anything.
-Simple, straightforward, well written directions, with increasingly rare niceties like proper spelling and punctuation, subject/object agreement and idiomatic consistency. These details may seem trivial, but in a world where technical writing is increasingly outsourced to non-native speakers, those of us who assemble a lot of furniture will find these instructions refreshingly welcome.
-Other nice features: industrial strength velcro holds the slats in place (IKEA could learn from this) and then pre-placed high-tack friction tape keeps the mattress from slipping. Genius! And the little ratchet tool they give you for tightening the bolts feels like a solid tool. Really nice touch.
I really can't find any negatives - though I only just finished assembling them, and may have more to say after a few months of use, though I predict these will stand the test.
Nice job, folks!
Cheers.
