best platform full Mates Bed with Twin Mates Bed drawers

I bought this because the other reviews said it wasn't splintery. They're right... for a good cheap platform frame, it's pretty solid. It's quite high off the floor, which is great for storing stuff under it, but is a little odd for something that's futonic.
It's easy to put together, and the advice to tighten the screws again after the first few weeks is good advice. I've un-assembled this and re-assembled it, and it's still solid. This is a good buy.

My fiance and I searched every internet site and every furniture store around us looking for a platform bed. We couldn't find a single thing under $250, they were ALL made out of particle board and weighed over a 100 pounds! We were so excited when we found the Nomad bed that we ordered it immediately. The shipping took half as long as the predicted 12 days; although, there was no tracking, which was frustrating. On the morning of the fifth day as I was preparing to call Amazon to track down whether or not the bed had even shipped, it showed up on our front porch!

I ordered this bed Tuesday afternoon and received it Friday. I assembled it by myself in just under an hour. It was a joy to assemble; the parts fit together just as described and the steps to assemble were simple. The assembled bed is very sturdy. I walked across it without the mattress on and I felt no weakness when applying my full weight (135 lbs) to a single slat. I had been concerned that the spacing between the slats would be noticeable through my 10 inch latex mattress, but that turned out to not be the case. I wasn't too excited about having four screws in the center of the head and foot boards of the bed, but a simple bed skirt hides them well.

The bed has become a welcome addition to my home!
