In short I wanted a bed frame that was sturdy, had a lot of slats and was stylish. This checked all the boxes. Pair it with a 13 inch mattress. No box spring. All set.
Alright here is the details. After much deliberation I chose this bed frame. Days of back and forth on if I should just get a more expensive bed frame from a traditional retailer or just get a cheap metal bed frame ect ect. I stumbled upon this one and felt it had the cozy styling I was looking for at a mid range affordable price. I wanted a bed frame that had a lot of slats to support a mattress without a box spring, which this bed frame has. The padding is decent. I am a 24 year old guy with basic knowledge of building kind of budget furniture and Id say this is something anyone can build. With that being said I suggest having a middle aged handy dad with a power drill to come provide some helpinsert home depot music here. I have not experienced any of the issues other people listed in their reviews with pieces popping apart. The side wings are maybe the trickiest part but if you follow the instructions and screw them in properly you wont have an issue.
Your next question: what kind of mattress fits it best? I got a 13.5 inch mattress from macys and I found that to be perfect. It brings the top of the mattress over the gap between headboard and platform while leaving plenty of actual headboard space above the mattress. No other box spring or base. Lux Brookton 13.5 plush matress by serta. Ordered from macys and that is very comfortable. I saved money on the bed frame and spent a bit more on the mattress. Would recommend.
I hope this helps build confidence in your decision to get this bed frame. Also I chose the dark grey. I will update if anything changes.
