Question: I am on the hunt for a less expensive king size wooden bed frame. Any suggestions?
What do you mean by ‘less expensive‘? Is it under $100, $200 or $300 or $1,000? 
Here is a suggestion of solid wood bed frame that is under $300!
Okay, to be specific, it’s called King Size Nomad Platform Bed Frame
! It’s of $199.00, plus $62.79 shipping fee as of 22.08.2011.
This King Size Nomad Platform Bed Frame is well-designed with bolts into metal anchors, not wood, which makes for strong connections.
O, in case you are a big guy/gal, let me tell you that this king size solid wood bed frame is very sturdy! According to a buyer, “I’m a big guy (I weigh 230, and my wife is around 160), and there have been absolutely no stability issues with this bed. Our memory foam mattress is pretty heavy too (around 50 lbs).”
Sure, it’s plain. BUT, you can stain it using polyshades classic black or Velvit wood oil in light honey or paint it with glossy black to make it contemporary. ^.^
It’s been more than 22 months since hubby bought a queen platform bed for his brother who’s 5 feet 8 inches tall and more than 90 kg or 198 pounds. Yup, an overweight fellow!
How’s the 82″ x 62″ x 10″ sleek contemporary bed doing now? Phew, thank God that it is still in good condition!
Seeing that the South Shore Queen Platform Bed
is still intact after almost two years, my neighbor is thinking of getting her fat brother this same platform bed.
Upon checking for my neighbor, the same full platform bed is still available on the market. It’s still the most affordable platform bed out there, at $153.98, plus free shipping.
To prepare my neighbor for the worst in case she doesn’t get what she expects, I have told her that:
i) For under $160.00, she will get what she pays for. It’s particle board, so do not expect wood!
ii) The package weights more than 100 lbs when it arrives. Wuahaha, I think she fears not because it’s her hubby and his fat brother who will carry the box into the house! ^.^
Even if there is no one to help her carry the heavy package into the house, well, think out of the box. She can open the box, slide out pieces of it and carry them two boards at a time!
iii) She doesn’t have to worry much about the assembly. The guys in her house will surely take care of it.
