Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I always start reading the 1-star reviews before making any purchase. It's good to know what the problems may be ahead of clicking that "Check-Out" button attached to your cart. I was prepared ahead of time for the tools I knew I needed ( see the photo above)...yes you are going to need these tools to assemble this frame, so go ahead and get out there and round up everything you will need. The useless wrench that is included with these is a complete waste of time, and a "knuckle-buster" ( to say the least). Yes, you are going to need a rubber mallet. In my case, I ran into a BIG Glitch right out of the box ! (See the photos of the BENT post). Instead of dealing with sending this thing back, or waiting a few weeks for a replacement post, I just got out my trusty hammer and pounded the thing into place so it could slide into the adjoining post. I had one slight problem at the end with this malformed section when it came time to insert the screw. I loosened up the other screw and was able to make this end fit together securely. Now to the "nuts & bolts" and the honest review of this product....it is so well designed ( an engineering marvel to behold ) and after everything is assembled it is "Extremely Sturdy" !!!! I have a heavy iSerta Hybrid Queen Mattress , and it is well supported on this frame. I did use the advise from a previous review, and I used a fitted sheet on the underside of the mattress , but it is not necessary to keep this mattress from sliding. It took a good 2 hours to assemble ( this was due to the bent section that had to be pounded into shape )...there was nothing complicated and the instruction book was simple to follow along... ( all pictures ). In the future, if need be, this frame will be easy-peazy to break down and fold up for moving. I am proudly giving a FIVE STAR rating, and think this is one of the best bangs for my piddily, ever shrinking, buck.
