Mellow 14" Quickbase Bifold Metal Platform Bed Frame with Steel Slats, Black, King

I am a Spark Reviewer for Walmart and was given a free Full Size Best Price Mattress New Innovated Box Spring Platform Metal Bed Frame/Foundation to review. The box came and it was really heavy. I was dreading opening it as I thought I was going to have to build the metal base. I was very surprised when I opened the box and I slid out two base pieces that were folded in half. Each piece unfolded and the legs were already attached. I was even more surprised when the only package of parts was a small package that had 10 wing nuts, 2 spacers and 2 bolts. I had this frame together in less than 20 minutes. Each base unfolded and I placed the ends into the slots and spun on a wing nut (2 for each side) so for the 2 bases that was 8 wing nuts. Then I placed each base upright and slide them next to each other. The 2 large bolts slide between the 2 bases with a spacer on each end of the base and done. This is a great feature for anyone when moving. It makes taking the base apart a breeze; they refold so they will take up much less room than a regular frame. The legs have soft feet with a gripper type material to prevent sliding on the floor. The frame edges are rounded so you don't have any sharp corners to worry about. There are 3 legs on each side of the frame, so the center ends up with 6 for a full size frame which makes this really sturdy. The instructions state it will hold up to 1000 #. The top spring portion is smooth so you won't get any snags on your mattress or bedding. The base is 14” high so it will be great for using sweater totes to slide under it for extra storage. The frame itself had about an extra 1” on each side of where my current mattress sits so for the newer, fuller mattresses this will be just right. I have to say that I was not sure what a mattress base was and now I know that with the base you do not need a conventional box spring as this would make your bed too high. With a 10” mattress and the base you are about 24” off the ground. The base gives your mattress a nice firm feeling to it, but not hard. There are even holes on the end so you could attach a headboard to it. The base came in black. I would like to see them have one in white and maybe a bronze would be nice. I gave this a 5 star rating for all of the above reasons.

Easily to put together, opened the box it was folded in half cut off all the ties all I Had to do is unfold it slide the bars under the spring platform, locked them into place and turn the bed up side right and was ready to place the mattress on. If you have a back board connect it to the top part of the frame and you are done! This was the simplest frame I have ever put together. I have the old one and it required connection to each section as well as several slats that went in between the rails. My old frame required a lot of patience and maneuvering before you got it where it was ready for the box spring. This frame was FANTASTIC as I mentioned above so simple a child of age 8 could of put it together and feel proud doing so! Only thing with my old set-up is that my bed's head board was a thicker post and the bolt section did not align with the frame. I will take that any day over what I had to go through with the old bed frame. I also kept the box spring on there which makes the bed higher but it will be temporary, only until I can dispose of the box spring. Other than that GREAT bed frame, I recommend it to everyone!
