Great frame and with a simple modification can be even better!
HAPPY!! I bought this for its great reviews as a sturdy bed frame with storage beneath. Very easy to set up but didnt like how my new standard king mattress nested with the frame being wider than the mattress. I did some measuring and decided to fix the problem! I bought 6, 2x4 studs, cut and laid them on the frame to raise the mattress, then turned the mattress 90 degrees. It fits flush on three sides now, and at the head I built a 6 shelf at the level of the mattress to lay the pillows on. Im 64 so this gave me 6 more length and tucked beneath the shelf is room for whatever home defense item you may want. I bought a 14 bed skirt and had to cut it and staple to the 2x4s to make fit, but it all works out great. Fitted mattress sheet goes on the 90 degree way but the top sheet will fit the normal way. My wife loves it and after 4 months she hasnt realized the mattress is termed 90 degrees.
