Are the castors holding up? One of the welds broke where the castor screws in before the bed was even used. Will the others hold up?

We have had the bed for almost one year and have not had any problems with the casters or any problems at all

A friend of mine did some dips on them. He's about 200lbs. It didn't look totally stable, and I don't know how long the welds would hold if you did this repeatedly.

I got mine last January and it is tacked. It seems to take a good shaking without shifting to restore the loft.

They're already bent. You put the three bent poles together to go over the bed. I'll post a picture later of the poles disassembled.

We've had ours 6 months now and they are holding up so far. For the price we paid, I think they are a better deal then buying them from Sears. They were outrageously expensive.

No...I had to reorder because it broke after less than 1 week. They said they'd send me a stronger version but I got the same thing. And they only sent the rails. We had to do some stabilizing so the same thing wouldn't happen again & I only had a young child sleeping in the bed. There needs to be some support in the middle of the frame or this will continue to be a problem with this bed.

My wife and I have slept on it for over a year, and none of the slats or slat joints have any visible damage or wear. In fact, we moved to a new place a couple of months ago, and I inspected everything before reassembling.Plastic joints do seem a bit flimsy, but they aren't designed to carry weight, but only to keep the slats from sliding.

Have you tried loosening the bolts and raising the brackets up from the bed frame? That's what I had to do. Sorry if I seem to remedial. Haven't heard of anything else. If that doesn't work try your local Lowe's or Home Depot.

I bought two and have had to re-glue both of them. I don't think it was the weight as much as people moving back and forth while sitting on them. They are not well made. However, I can say someone weighing 200 lbs. sat on it and didn't break it. I've seen them at Garden Ridge & I think Hobby Lobby for the same price. I'd suggest you check it out before buying. Also, the wood on mine was not nice enough to stain, I had to paint them.

I actually suggest doing that. We have had this bed for 5 years. After about 2 years the supports that came with it snapped. They were thin and I worried about them breaking to begin with . I wish we had added our own 2X4's from the get go.

No the metal held up great! there was a little brown coloring in teh fire pit by the gas thing a doodle. I will make a comment that the product came scratched and the mfg said they would replace the side with the scrath and we never could get them to call us back... but the table is awesome.. wish they had better customer service..

I see this is an older post with no comments...did you ever find a suitable bedrail? I also have a Stearns and Foster and am worried about finding an adequate rail. Any suggestions?

They are still good since the end of January but there is a crack in the bottom where the wheels in the bed rest in them. The bed is heavy. We have been pleased with them

They are pretty sturdy. We've had ours for a while now and they haven't even sank in the middle like a lot of rollaway beds do. (If that helps any.)

Now that you brought this to my attention, I see what you mean about premature rusting of the screws. I haven't noticed because this seat is down 99% of the time in this particular bathroom. The material and/or coating for the screws must be sub standard for their intended use. I intend to go purchase something different, while I still can; I just hope that the wood can stand the change of screws. In addition, I will contact the company and let them know what is happening. I have pictures of each of the 4 screws; I can send them to you if you'd like, but I would need an email address for you. I can't attach them to this response. tjquigl@comcast.net Now that you brought this to my attention, I see what you mean about premature rusting of the screws.

I would say so. I have had mine for about two years and I think it was a good buy. The only issue I have had is that the slats that hold up the matress have a tendency to shift when you change the sheets. Its an easy fix. I never moved this bed either so its never been taken apart and put back together. Id buy it again.

Ours is holding up very well. We are using it for garden storage ... Pots, rakes, buckets.
