I purchased this bed and it came in good time. I was excited to open the box and put it together, and I did it alone in about one and a half hours. Finally I got to the slats which were wrapped together in a plastic bag. When I took them out the bag, my first thought was No way will these slats be able to support my 325 pound frame! I put them on the bed anyway and leaned just a bit in each one. I only gave them a slight push but could hear each slat on the verge of cracking! Theres just no way these thin cheap slats could support an 800 pound person! When I wrote to the company mentioning the weak springs and very thin support beams on the exterior frame; they wrote back this:

Now I for one as well as anyone I know do NOT sleep on a single slat. I will never have a good nights sleep in a bed that I have to move cautiously on in fear of snapping the support system, never mind any fun bedroom activity. Well they did honor my return request, at MY Expense! Its just not worth giving back at least half the money for a shoddy made bed that I would not have purchased but for the false claim of an 800 pound weight capacity! Im gonna look into this situation a bit further, in the meantime, if youre over 175 pounds, Id stay away from this bed. Otherwise its not bad for a small person smaller couple.
800 Pounds of Support Is A LIE!
