Review on VECELO Twin Metal Platform Bed Frame With Headboard & Footboard: Sturdy, Easy-To-Assemble Mattress Foundation For Firm Support In Sleek Black Finish by Brent Gurney

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I assembled 3 of these

I put together 2 Queen and 1 Full size bed frames. The package was tightly packed, no defects in any of the parts. Each part was in plastic bags, styrofoam kept them in place and additional cardboard was used as protectors. Lots of garbage, but it was optimized to protect the metal parts. Pieces are labeled with numbers and hardware is labeled with letters. As for the hardware, they were all on one card, clearly marked and sealed with hard plastic to not get lost. Downfall was that you need to open the screw sections as you need them or you will end up losing track of which piece was which letter. Perhaps the length of the screw should have been noted right on the card. One extra of each screw/washer/nut with 2 Allen keys. You cannot put this together wrong. holes go all the way through posts so either way it will work. Sister parts are not mirror images when I assumed they would be. There is an indent for the washer, but you won't have it like that on the other side.Directions were so easy to follow. A faster job with 2 people but absolutely doable with one. I completed on my own and I'd say my skill is a 7 out of 10. The first took me about 3 hours and the last about 2. Each step is clearly labeled with numbered parts and lettered hardware. No reading needed, all visual diagrams. The washers are curved and took some thought before putting them on the screw, but after the first wrong one, you'll figure it out quickly.After assembled, very sturdy and fit the mattress appropriately. Someone mentioned it can slide left to right and I do see that as happening, but all platform beds will do that. Since the platform is metal, it slides a little easier.WARNING. assemble with shoes and not bare feet. It is very easy to kick the center support beam and stub you toe; My crocs were perfect for the job.
