KD Frames Fold Platform Bed - Twin XL Bed Frame - Unfinished Wood Bed Frame - Natural, Minimalist Bed - Foldable Mattress Frame - Easy Assembly, No Box Spring Needed - Solid Wood Twin XL Platform Bed

I picked up the KD Frames foldable platform bed in a queen size back in May 2019. It’s simple, sturdy and surprisingly easy to set up. When I need extra space, it folds up without any drama and stores away cleanly. The build feels solid and has held up incredibly well over the years. I reached out a few weeks ago because I misplaced a couple of parts. Their team responded right away and sent replacements without any hassle. The customer service alone earns them a gold star. I’d gladly recommend KD Frames to anyone looking for a reliable, minimalist bed frame.

Two tools you definitely need to buy beforehand to assemble this: 1. Hammer or rubber mallet 2. Power drill I'm guessing the demo had all holes pre-drilled perfectly or the demo guy had super strength, but we don't have that luxury. So, you'll really need those two tools above to assemble everything tightly. Other than that, the assembly went smoothly. All the holes aligned, and the steps were clear. The demo video was way more helpful than the manual, so give it a watch. If the holes don't quite line up or panels won't push in, go back to the previous step and ensure everything's hammered in tightly. That usually fixes the issue. I'm a 5’3 girl, around 100lbs, and I managed to assemble it by myself in about 2 hours, using a power drill and a hammer (no help from my BF, ugh). The tricky parts were lifting the panels to get everything nailed down and getting all the holes to line up. It felt like a game of whack-a-mole: as soon as I lined up one side, the other side popped out. Having a second person would've made it so much quicker, probably cutting the time down to 1/3. All in all, I did it, although a little out of breath by the end. The bed frame is very sturdy, and it folds up nicely for easy storage or moving which I love! Once you finish the assembly, it functions as effortlessly as those foldable metal frames but looks 100x cuter. The low platform gives it a Japanese tatami vibe, adding a cozy touch to my bedroom. Just a tip: Lay down a big plastic cover on the floor before you start. There'll be a good amount of wood dust as you hammer and drill. I used one from a new mattress, and it saved me a cleanup.

good, solid, made of real wood bed. relatively easy to assemble. it's full size bed. once folded doesn't take much space. good alternative to cot and futon.

This bed frame is super impressive! The design is simple, yet extremely well thought out and functional. It folds up perfectly to be stored away and is very sturdy and functions better than a lot of bed frames that don’t do anything cool like fold in half. I love the Nordic style unfinished wood and overall minimalist aesthetic of this bed frame, I purchased it for my guest room and have already recommended it to so many friends and family. The queen tri-fold mattress I purchased for this bed fits perfectly on the bed frame. When not in use, I can stowaway the mattress and bed frame in the guest room and have more space for other activities. I did a lot of research on guest bed solutions, and I’m extremely happy with my purchase.

Stylish, easy to assemble, and a great bed so far. This is exactly what I was looking for. Something simple, lightweight, and not ugly. Another reviewer said they were looking for a “minimalist bed” and I think this fits that description nicely. It really turns into a nice solid wood bed with no extraneous or overly complicated components, springs, cloth/slats etc. Very well designed from a non-bed-designers opinion. Folding it up is a little awkward but I intend to do it very rarely. Built it in my living room, folded it up, and moved it to the bedroom where it will stay as my bed. Since there are no lips to hold the mattress in place, you may want to consider some sticky/tacky strips if you want to have the bed in the middle of a wall, easy enough to get. Mine is in the corner against two walls and is fine. Take your time building it and read the instructions... seriously. Open the box up, have some tea, read the instructions, and identify the pieces. Assembly is mostly just pushing in pins or dowels and then pressing the various pieces together. Might take a little work to push some pins in if your hands are soft, keep something like a small rubber mallet or clean shoe to press in the pins fully (I used the end of my screwdriver.) Important: the wood screws are not that hard to get in, you can use a manual/hand screwdriver. You just need to press the screw down into the wood beneath while tightening the screw and it will catch in the wood and begin sink fully. From what I can see, any bad reviews should be ignored. It’s not creaking, it was easy enough for a competent person to put together with only a screwdriver, it feels like a real solid base, and looks great in my room. If something is not fitting/working, it’s almost guaranteed either user error or a part is defective (I’m sure they’d send you the pieces if it was really missing or inoperable, which seems unlikely based on packaging and design.) In one pic, you’ll see I ended up taping down the pins with painters tape. I was imagining that there’s no way they wouldn’t move about a bit and make some noise so took preemptive measures before I put the mattress down. Great bed, good job!

I have been struggling to find a sturdy QUEEN bed frame that is also collapsible so I was understandably skeptical about this one. After a few days of using it I can say I'm pleasantly surprised. The set up was easy although I wish there were sticker labels on each part. The bed frame is very silent and noiseless unlike squeaky metal frames. The raw wood has a nice smell and can easily be painted or stained. Best part is it's easily collapsible, great for storage and transporting.

I love that there is zero plastic in this product, other than the small bag that the screws and dowels came in. The instructions are simple and clear. The product itself is made of decently hard wood. While it is a guest bed, and not likely to be used until Christmas time I did lie down on it myself for a few minutes on a 4" foam mattress. I am sure my guest will sleep well and after they leave I can hide it under my bed.
