Review on Full Size Faux Leather Upholstered Platform Bed Frame By Mecor With Adjustable Button Tufted Headboard, Wooden Slat Support System, Brown Finish - Easy Assembly, No Box Spring Required by Brittany Anderson

Assembly was a pain. A lot of engineering went into reducing weight and size of packaging in order to get the price down. The trade-off is that assembly is way more complicated than it should be. It was like 2 hours to put this thing together properly! Once assembled, it’s a decent bed that is NOT meant for use with a box spring! This is a mattress only design. Adding a box spring raises the mattress almost to the top of the headboard. I’m 6’2” and could not touch the floor while sitting on the bed with the box springs in place. So ditch your box springs and just use a mattress. Durability was impressive, I thought I might have to cover the slats with plywood to handle the almost 500 lbs combined weight of me and my wife. But the bed has held up just fine without it.
