Needs box spring due to 6" spacing between slats
The spacing between the slats on the full-size frame is 6 inches, which means that you have to use this with a box spring, contrary to what they advertise. Since I bought this to use instead of a box spring, I'm very unhappy. Without a box spring or a large piece of plywood, the new, extra-firm mattress I ordered feels extra soft and plush, providing virtually no support. I'm sure there are people that will be very happy with this product, but if you're looking for a platform frame to hold a mattress you'll want to move along. On the plus side, the frame is sturdy and easy to assemble. It's just not what they are advertising at the time I placed the order and am writing the review, which is a frame that you can use in place of a box spring. With a memory foam mattress, you'll have to put down some plywood or other support structure. The slats slide into welded slots so it's not easy to simply add more. To get the support required for a mattress, they'd have to double the number of slats on each side (currently there are 10).

    It's a good buy. It's simple and attractive.
    I like that this Mainstay Frame was delivered so quickly. I received it in two days. One corner of the package was slightly crushed. However upon opening it there was only a slight couple of scratches in the paint. I would suggest that Walmart should use extra packaging material in the interior around the corners of their merchandise for better cushioning inside the box for more protection against dropping and bumping while their drivers are delivering. I purchased the twin size Mainstay frame in the color white. It was easy to follow the instructions and put it all together with the assembly illustration booklet and included well packaged hardware tools. I like that it is very “lightweight” for handling, but yet strong and provides very good solid support for my Allswell twin mattress. I placed “felt pads” (that I purchased separately) onto each leg cap so it can glide very easily on my wood floors. The simple frame design fits nicely against the wall in my very small bedroom and I can easily pull it away from the wall and easily glide it back when I arrange and tidy up the bed linens each morning.

    Shipping box is junk but bed frame is decent.
    Package arrived damage. Box is torn all over the place and taped back up. Walmart needs to step up the corrugate shipper thickness. Luckily nothing is missing. All the pieces are accounted for. I am 100% sure that the set that I received is a return set. There are cut zip ties in the box. Some of the metal pieces are dent and scratched. I gave it a go anyway because I needed a bed frame badly. It is Very easy to built. It took me less than 30 mins to build this bed. I am a 5'2 female. It didn't take a lot to built this bed. I needed to hammered in one of the frame because it wouldn't slide in. Overall, it's a decent bed. You get what you paid for. If you are expecting fancy bed with fancy quality, you may want to spend more than $109

    Sturdy and affordable
    These were very easy to assemble and came with all the tools needed. Bought these for my two teenage daughters and they are very sturdy. Got them on sale I believe and were reasonably priced.

    Budget friendly solution.
    This is an affordable solution. Ordered a full size and it fits inside the queen bed frame. Perfect support for a queen mattress. Easy to assemble. All metal parts.

    Wrong color of item shipped.
    Ordered white and they shipped it in black. Sad that basic order details can't be followed. States black multiple times on the package. Order details clearly state white.

    Strong and perfect. High enough to fit flat containers underneath for storage!

    Box was delivered damaged and we were worried that there would be missing pieces because of it, but upon opening the box and taking inventory, all the items were there. It took me close to an hour to put it together as I didn't want to wait for my husband to come home from work. I kept the box spring, even though it's not needed, and the bed is a good height. Love the storage space underneath, especially my puppy who likes to found a new place to put all his toys.

    Not as pictured
    Holes everywhere. The pictures make it look neat and clean, but the legs have all sorts of slots for some reason. Now we have to buy a bed skirt to cover the frame because it's ugly.

    Nice affordable bed base
    Got this to replace the broken slatted bed base, the height is slightly taller than the original bed frame. But the price is affordable, even cheaper than what I found at ikea, and it still looks pretty good, hope this one can hold up longer.

    Easy to assemble, but lacking a piece.
    easy to assemble, but missing one of the cross bars. Had to use one from the foot of the bed and no matter what, it makes for a saggy spot in the mattress.

    Disappointed
    Got it them (one for each daughter) today July 8th the boxes where busted up the screws where missing in both boxes had to spend an extra $20 bucks to get the right ones at Lowe's then came home and went to buy the bed together so one of the legs is completely cracked. So I am waiting to find out what to do now. When our whole house is a mess to redo this room and now can't complete it with out the bed frames for all the stuff to be put away right.

    Horrible DON'T BUY
    Absolutely Horrible!!!!!! If I could do ZERO STARS, I Absolutely would. This is not what I ordered. I opened the box and there was only 3 pieces in this box. Where are the bars that go in the middle? How is this supporting a mattress? This is nothing like the picture or description!!!!

    More like a 3.5/5
    Came scratched and the box was literally open when I received it LOL BUT all parts were included. Putting it together was a bit of a head scratcher when looking at the directions (directions show pieces A,B,E, etc but pieces aren't labeled, artistic renderings are dark) so gotta just go with common sense. Looks like there are a lot of parts but it's not so bad. Got queen size and it's the perfect fit for a queen bed. Holds 2400 lbs so it won't break during "adult time" or random kids jumping on it during a party. Kind of ugly but gets the job done. Comes with all the tools you'll need.

    Ugh- bad experience with this bed frame
    Pretty disappointed in the condition in which this was delivered and then handled by Walmarts customer service department when requesting a refund. Box and product were heavy damaged, yet in order to get a refund for the product Walmart asked if I would “kindly” repackage the product for return using another box or packaging of my own. It looks like the bed frame itself could be nice. It also looks like I might be trying to put the damaged item together to see if I can make this work, considering I won't be able to send the item back for refund or exchange unless I purchase my own packaging materials. Frustrating- makes me never want to order from Walmart again.

    Exactly what I wanted
    Exactly what I wanted! The first shipment I had gotten had 3 bent brackets (pictures). I emailed Walmart through my account and immediately got a response with choices on retuning it. They also immediately placed an order to replace it! I took the damaged one to FedEx right then, and I was able to track the return. I actually got my replacement before FedEx delivered the damaged one to Walmart! Setting it up was a breeze. Since I will be using it frequently, I left the bolts out of the hinges, so it could be folded for storage. It doesn't fold all the way flat, but close enough.
