I purchased a single twin xl for evaluation and once satisfied I ordered an additional unit to complete a split king set for my wife and I. As others have indicated in great detail the bed goes together quickly, is well/built and performs astonishing well especially for the price. I am currently evaluating a Casper and Bobs Zzzoom mattress both of which work fine with the bed. (for those curious, the Bobs Zzzoom is a much firmer mattress than the Casper) Just a few notes in no particular order:
1) I am not surprised is having trouble keeping up with the demands of this unit. I am sure the expanding bed in a box industry is helping along with the changing feeling folks seem to have toward adjustable beds. Considering the lower price, its not just for the hospital or those in need, but considered by those who like to read, work, watch TV, …etc. in bed without propping pillows.
2) I had the same problem with corner legs being difficult to screw into place with both of my beds. The black coating on the threads (probably used to keep them from rusting during the boat ride) would gum up during insertion. What I did was tighten until it became too hard, backed out and brushed the threads to remove the gummed up coating and filings. I repeated this process until they screwed all the way down easily.
3) It would have been nice to have a backlit remote. Not a big deal but most of the time you are using the remote in the dark. On the positive side the batteries will last longer.
4) You will notice the bed uses 6 legs instead of the usual 4. This creates a nice sturdy platform and also allows the frame to be dived into two pieces. The center legs actually join the head and foot section of the frame together. This makes it much easier to move the bed from room to room if needed or even from your driveway to the bedroom for assembly.
5) The 4 platform of the frame makes a nice sleek base which is also plenty sturdy. I am 6/2 240 and can flip and flop without any frame squeaks.
6) The motors are very quiet and plenty strong at least when used on my twin xl.
Perfect and the price is great
