The bed frame is solidly constructed with double bolts on each corner. Your mattress rests on a wooden slatted base which is supported by a central rail that runs from the top to the bottom of the bed frame. A support leg is fitted to the centre rail and rests on the floor, providing extra stability to the bedstead and mattress. This bed requires simple self-assembly.
