Novogratz Bushwick Metal Bed, Queen

Ok so honest review here. I chose this bed because of its price range. It was the cheapest king bed frame that was within my budget, and it’s decent enough looking. The bed arrived in perfect shape and on time. Assembly was a pain. It took my husband and I almost 3 hours to put together. The bed is extremely lightweight and I question it’s sturdiness. I’ve only had it for less than a week now, and nothing has broken yet, but it just feels cheap and unsturdy. The bed makes creaking noises when rolling over at night. The description states that a box spring is not needed, and that is true, however the bed sits very low. If you’re not a fan of low sitting beds than I definitely recommend you skip this bed or add a box spring. After sleeping on this bed for a few nights, I caved and purchased a box spring to add to it. It sits that low. The box spring helped tremendously with the height issue. Overall, I would rate the bed ok. If it’s what you can afford it definitely will work, however don’t expect this bed to last a long time. The price reflects the quality. For $200 I expect to get maybe a year or two out of it if I’m lucky. Adult activities are definitely a no no on this bed. It’s just not sturdy enough. It’ll do for now as I needed a king size bed frame for an affordable price, but I foresee myself needing to replace it in the future.
