Review on 💺 Aiden Metal Futon Frame, Black by DHP by Michele Martin

I bought this item for my daughter to use in her room. I have had a futon before and was not very impressed with how the frames hold up over time with regular use. Our last frame, which was completely different from this one, didn't hold up very well. Things bent, broke, and it kind of ruined my whole idea of them. But my daughter needed a bed and since we already had a really good futon mattress it was cheaper and easier to buy. Upon first opening I was unimpressed and concerned that I might have made a mistake in my order. That. I should note, however, that when I put it together it will probably hold up better than our last one. First the frame. This one breaks in the middle and this initially seems to be a big design issue as this is where the most common breaks can occur. But they used a one-piece insert that sticks out a few inches from the center on either side of the connector and is held in place with a couple of screws. More importantly, the shape isn't tubular like our last frame, but uses a square shape with a smaller area that should be stronger. The back and bottom are designed completely differently than what I've seen before. Our previous frame had tubular supports that ran the length of the entire joint like stair rungs and were only nailed in two places. The first thing left on this type of frame are the tack welds. They just started to crack, and then the supports fell off. It solves this problem by using a screen-like design that distributes the weight of the load more evenly throughout the frame. So it doesn't look like there's going to be a spot where the weight of the person sitting on it is so concentrated that the welds pop. in the middle of both the bottom and the back. As a result, all edges are supported in the middle when it is in a horizontal position, which relieves it a lot. My only complaint is that the brackets that hold the mattress in place in the sofa position are too flat for a thick enough mattress; like my. If you leave it upright they can break (this was the case with my last frame) and then the mattress won't hold up. We probably won't encounter this problem because my daughter leaves it unfolded and doesn't use it as a sofa at all, but if you intend to use it like this, this must be taken into account.
