Some bed frames disappear under the mattress this one gives the room its posture. Rows of slender arched wirework rise across the 40 in headboard and echo along the 26 in footboard, framing a king mattress with the quiet geometry of classic ironwork. In matte black powder-coated steel, the look settles as easily into a modern apartment as into a farmhouse guest room.Under the styling is a frame built to go quietly unnoticed night after night. The 83 x 79 x 40 in structure supports up to 660 lbs on its 80 x 78 in slatted platform, taking a standard king mattress 8 to 10 in thick with no box spring underneath. A rustproof finish keeps the steel from cracking or deforming over the years, noise-reduction foam at the contact points silences the small shifts of nightly use, and the headboard and footboard bracket the mattress so it never wanders. The 12.5 in of open air below is honest storage: flat bins, suitcases, and off-season bedding slide under and out of sight, and a damp cloth is all the smooth surface ever asks for.For primary bedrooms, guest rooms, and rentals that need a king-size anchor without a heavy price or a heavier delivery, this frame assembles simply with the included manual and stays quiet from the first night on (mattress not included).
