Easiest construction ever, sturdy and spacesavimg.
Of well over 100 pieces of furniture I've put together in the past 20 years, including at least 50 bookcases(all mostly the same steps) this was by far the easiest construction I've ever done. Directions aren't even needed, a picture here and there to make sure nothing is upside down or backwards and match the stickers is all it takes. Only 2 types of bolts, and one is only used in one step, the rest are the other. They were even smart enough to put the steps in such an order that no second person is needed to support things whole attached at both ends. No tools needed whatsoever not a hammer or a screwdriver, and they went the extra mile in addition to supplying a nice mallet for the rails(nothing else needs tapped but top and bottom rails) they even supply a ratcheting Allen wrench/hex key so the most annoying part of everything using that sort of bolt is a non-issue. Put together alone in a space less than a foot longer and wider than the final bed, and likely didn't even need the extra space. It's super sturdy unlike all the other metal canopies out there and silent, plus a surprise on the mattress supports: 3m tape(optional usage but already in place) to keep mattress from sliding around. Our old bed was over a foot longer than this despite also being a queen because the head and foot we're both curved like a sleigh bed(but not a sleigh bed) and there was an enormous gap in length, and that was a high quality expensive Ashley bed and 14" pillow top (always extra big) mattress. For those with limited space but want biggest bed they can get, this is the right answer. No wasted space, and the underbed clearance(just under 14") means you can fit a lot underneath easily. The extra supports are right in the middle, not 1/3 and 2/3 so you don't lose depth, plus they're spaced far enough that you can use a 60" long container underneath if it's not more than about 3 feet wide. Awesome bed and very happy with the purchase. Only downside, and this goes for a million things on Hawkins Woodshop, is that the price fluctuates dramatically. We put it in our cart at 185 one night, went to order next day it was 200. Waited another day it dropped to 173 so we ordered. Right now it's 165. I despise the Autobots that constantly change prices on sites like this based on perceived interest (always seems to go up after put in cart overnight), but the product in this case was well worth it.

Long lasting durable beautiful and elegant
I just had to move again for the third time since I purchased this bed frame and I just have to say it has been four years and this is one of my favorite things I’ve ever purchased. I briefly bought a different bed frame, used it for six months, then went and got the pieces of this one back out of storage and have gone back to it because alternatives don’t compare. It is sturdy, hasn’t bent deformed chipped or been damaged in four years, is just as beautiful as the day I bought it, quiet, and best of all it comes apart and goes back together over and over so easily, I lost the instructions god knows how long ago but it’s so well designed I could do it in my sleep anyway. It’s easier to get from one place to another than any of my other furniture. Apartment life means I have to be careful as I add pieces to my collection that I can get them out after I bring them in, and that’s the biggest thing I’m grateful for about this, but besides its being easy to put together it is also timeless in design and elegant and simple enough that you can change it up with the netting, lights, and bedding if you want a fresh look. It is high enough off the ground for plenty of storage without need for risers or being too tall. I keep storage bins luggage shoes etc all under it, unsightly items totally out of sight. I had some concern at first for maybe the first year that it was a sort of juvenile college purchase, because a canopy bed is something that appeals so much to my inner child, but I no longer think so; I think it’s all in how you style and accessorize and what kind of bedding you use. So incredibly happy to have this even years later. I wish I had photos on hand that did it justice. I love taking selfies against the backdrop of the canopy with the fairy lights glinting in the background, instant easy aesthetic backdrop. Honestly, you spend 1/3 of your life asleep.. Why would you not want to spend that time somewhere beautiful? ❤️❤️

Great frame! Happy with the purchase.
Wow, this bed frame has really exceeded my expectations. It was really easy to put together (though it’s definitely a two person job). It looks really nice and has held up pretty well! I’ve never had a canopy frame before and had my doubts on if I’d like it, but it actually looks super nice in my bedroom and really achieved the look I was going for. There are not a lot of gold bed frames on the market, and this one is definitely probably the best! My only complaints that the slats that support the mattress are sticky (so your mattress won’t slide) and that makes it difficult to tuck your sheets under when making the bed. Additionally, because it is slatted, the sheets fall down under the bed and unless you have a really long bedspread, you will be able to see the sheets. I fixed that problem when I could afford a new comforter but for months it didn’t look very nice until I could make the change. But honestly this is a great frame, just make sure you’ve got a nice, long comforter! (I’ve added photos from before and after I replaced the comforter so you can see the problem with the sheets.)

I love this bed! [Twin]
After two nights this bed impresses me! For those who don't feel like reading my rave review, it's sturdy, sleek & beautiful, and I recommend this bed frame to everyone. I have been in the market for a new bed frame for ages but I wanted to get something that would last, would offer me styling options, as well as functionality for a crazy little idea I had. Assembly was incredibly easy, I didn't glance at the instructions until after but if I had needed them, they were wonderfully detailed. Just go in order! Literally 1, 2, 3,... Each piece is labeled, and its connection is labeled. (Example: Part #13 is labeled 13 and the area on the pieces it's meant to connect to is also labeled 13). The hex ratchet is honestly the best thing I have ever used, it made putting this bed together so quick! The hardware is not bad but a few of hex bolt heads could have stripped but I did tighten them extra tight, they do have lock washers on them which I love. I didn't have to use the rubber mallet but it was nice to have just-in-case. I have a sleep number mattress and foundation [essentially a box spring], and if I'm honest I think a box spring will help evenly distribute weight, prevent sagging in areas which would cause localized stress on certain slats, and overall ensure the longevity of the "slats". In using a box spring in addition to the 14-inch high platform + a mattress you will definitely be higher up but it's a comfortable height for me. My muscle memory hasn't adjusted to avoid the center leg (lol) so I have whacked my foot a few times and it will do damage to your foot if you're not careful! So be mindful and stick some noodles on em until your body adjusts to the change, learn from my mistake and two fractured toes. So far, this bed is 10/10 worth the two fractured toes for me :P. I was slightly confused by the four slats that had nonslip tape on them, one because there were only four of them, and two because I wasn't entirely sure if they're meant to place in specific slots for maximum functionality. In the end, it didn't apply to me as I left the paper on since they would serve me no purpose with the style of my bed foundation. If you shake enough the frame will move, possibly make noise but I don't plan on jumping or engaging in vigorous activities... On this bed. Best of all, my crazy little idea worked perfectly with this bed frame. Theatre bed on a budget :P lol! I'll update this in the future if I think of anything else or if the quality deteriorates but I have high hopes.
