Has anyone here ever bought a bed frame or something similar to this on Wayfair, and if so, how did it turn out? Both in terms of its build quality and your quality of sleep? I moved into a new place a while back and wasn't ever able to fit my old queen mattress/bed frame/box spring in here, so it all went into storage and I've been sort of sleeping on a queen sized mattress on a twin sized box spring, and boy am I tired of it. Initially I thought that if I couldn't fit my old poo poo through the tightest stairwell in existence then I wouldn't have any luck with any bed stuff at all aside from what was already in here, until I was shown an instagram ad featuring a $2000 'build it yourself' bed frame kind of thing, which led me to search for much less expensive options, and then directly to Wayfair. But the only things I know about Wayfair are that their cabinet line was possibly used to traffic children to Epstein's island or something insane like that, and that a bunch of secretaries at work have a horrible addiction to buying poo poo from here all the goddamn time. 1.) Should I call interpol and tip them off about the secretaries' buying habits , and 2.) will I regret my life choices even more than I already do if I choose to sleep on one of these every night for the foreseeable future? edit: oh gently caress

Never got a bedframe from Wayfair but I've gotten a lot of other stuff and you get what you pay for. Lots of it is perfectly serviceable though and usually the same or even better than Ikea quality ime. For what it's worth i replaced my steel frame w a wood slat one from Amazon last year and it's just fine. Don't need a box spring. E: one of these specifically  You can easily assemble and disassemble this inside the bedroom too, it comes flat packed PokeJoe fucked around with this message at 04:17 on Jan 18, 2024 |

I have a bed frame like that I used to use, just a foldable metal frame with storage space underneath, they work just fine if you are using a foam mattress which I think is what they're recommended for. (idk who the gently caress is using box and springs these days) Now it's currently the guest bed so it's easy to disassemble and reassemble for space saving. The frame really shouldn't affect anything unless it's shoddy as hell and wobbles around or something, mine's essentially a prison cot. E: for prison cot reference

We’ve got similar frames for our sons, though I think from Amazon. My eldest? Not a problem, even holds up well to his being a heavyset guy. Just a little creaky. My youngest son is very fidgety/active and somehow manages to knock the metal slats out of the inside all the time, so the mattress ends up sinking into it. Still, held up better than IKEA frames for him.

Excellent. Thank you for the quick replies. I'd likely get my old mattress out of storage and yeet this one to hell where it belongs, but even mine from storage is definitely just a regular spring mattress and not foam. I wasn't aware these are mostly for foam mattresses? I guess my main concern lies with the metal/wooden slats, and how much or how easily they tend to sag over time. I suppose a wooden slat version would make the most sense from a practical point of view, given that I could always just run down to home depot and cut new slats if that ever becomes an issue. The metal ones, maybe not so much. edit: Grey Cat posted:E: for prison cot reference ah yes, NOW I see where the foam mattress comment comes into play. That is definitely a foam mattress prison cot. Which has me thinking my old spring mattress would work fine on a non-prison cot frame. XYZAB fucked around with this message at 04:21 on Jan 18, 2024 |

My wood one does not sag because it also has a center support and I have shared the bed w the gf the entire time. It isn't any worse than a box springal and steel frame for my uses (very short bouts of sex)

Yeah lol, and if you aren't worried about the lifespan of some old spring mattress you have then I wouldn't worry about it, boxsprings supposedly give spring mattresses a bigger lifespan by also absorbing but if it's old and you expect to need to replace it in the next few years I wouldn't stress putting it on a metal slat.

fake edit: motherfuckers  Blue Moonlight posted:My youngest son is very fidgety/active and somehow manages to knock the metal slats out of the inside all the time, so the mattress ends up sinking into it. Still, held up better than IKEA frames for him. How are the slats held in place to begin with? Some of the ads look like velcro? I'm wondering if it wouldn't be feasible to drill a single hole in each end to secure them with nuts/bolts, or would that ruin the structural integrity of the steel at a regular enough interval to implode the whole drat thing just by looking at it?

Most slats I've ever seen are just gravity. I.e. the frame has an inner lip ~2-4 inches around the inside that the slats lay on and a handful or boards/posts/etc along the inside as bracing pillars for the middle. I don't think I've actually seen one with anything specific to hold the slats in place, come to think of it?

XYZAB posted:fake edit: motherfuckers Yeah it's like sticky adhesive poo poo or Velcro, plus some sort of textile spacer between the slats. They're all connected as a single unit kinda like a rope ladder and you just plop the slats in a frame and throw a mattress on top

It's Easy is what I'm saying. Less work than a traditional steel frame and box spring

XYZAB posted:fake edit: motherfuckers Well, here’s a lovely diagram:  Basically, the side rails are kind of L-shaped, and they have a number of slots that the cross—slats fit into. The cross-slats are pretty thin, I don’t know that I’d try to drill through them, but I’ve never drilled through metal before.

Forgive me I got a bunch of Milwaukee M12 tools over the holidays and I’ve basically been looking at anything that isn’t drilled down as an excuse to bust them out. But if they don’t need to be drilled down, even better. Thanks all for your constructive takes on this. Next paycheck is new bed frame paycheck. edit: picture this as me but with a drill instead of a saw

Yeah Velcro might be simpler, less mess too. Otherwise drill with a proper bit and stay fairly small, I’d think. Those ladder types can also pinch the absolute poo poo out of you, so that’s a fun wrinkle.

Not Ali, eBay but I'm assuming this is the most appropriate thread for cheap Chinese poo poo. I ordered a Lithium Ion battery on ebay, $8 for the battery, $3 for shipping. A month later, today, I got a note from USPS saying "Michael" didn't pay enough postage and they want an extra $5.10. On eBay.com, the tracking only shows the chinese tracking number, 17track tracks the package from "airport" to "aiport" and provides a last mile tracking number, which USPS recognizes and says the package failed to deliver today. I've waited long enough and I want this battery (it's totally not a fire hazard, right guys?), I'm considering paying the postage fees. I just now sent a message from the seller ("Zengtrader", a funny way to spell "Michael") regarding the postage so I haven't heard back yet. I think worst case is I pay the postage and then eBay seller never responds and I cant get a refund from the seller, at which point I assume I probably can't get a refund through eBay either without tarnishing my account. Hypothetically, what happens if I refuse the item? I believe in the US, the USPS would send the item back to the shipper with a fee, but in this case, I doubt they are going to send it back to China. For that matter, the last few items I have received were ordered from China, but when they arrived I think they all had another sticker on the box with a return address in San Francisco. Is this an extra step in the media mail abuse scheme? For what it's worth, I looked up the sellers feedback on eBay, they have sold 42K items with only 7 neutral feedbacks listed, most of which were "slow shipping" and a couple "item never arrived - refunded", and no negative feedback.

And I do mean anyone.

My queensize wood bed frame is from Ikea. You build it from pieces. As for wayfair, i find it has many different similar options for the dame type of furnitute. but usually you can find a similar thing on Amazon. Same price and easier return.

Regarding bed frames, I went with prison cot frames, purchased from a mattress store they were about $100 each but they are comfortable. Later, I put a bed on a loft frame made from 2x4s, I used 1x4s for the slats and put a piece of 1/2" OSB down as a box frame, it's comfortable.

Tad Naff posted:Ooooh no you didn't Regarding my eBay battery, I paid the post man and got the package, the battery is working fine so far. The seller said they would refund me the postage. For anyone interested in potential mail fraud, the package had a sticker from USPS stating:
The postman said something about how it was marked as a rural route despite being urban. Also, there were three stickers, the first had only foreign text, the second had the foreign tracking number and the last one had the USPS tracking number. All three labels have my correct address, but only the last one has a return address, "Michael 3910 Broadway Pl Los Angeles, CA 90037". I can pull up the address on Google maps but Google with no occupant on the list, a few links deeper claimed this address was registered as a clothing store.
