is the mid-beam support for the larger bed sizes made out of metal or wood? trying to figure how much of the bed is metal (aside from hardware)

The bed is made entirely of wood. I have had the king size bed for a few years and still love it. It is very sturdy. I bought it to be used as a family bed when my grandkids come for sleepovers. They have grown twice as big from when I got it and we still all pile onto it to watch movies or just hangout. It is quiet and never makes a sound with all the extra weight.

The support rails are wood, and unfortunately, not very sturdy; if the company had only used a true 2x4 it would have been strong enough, but they used two 1x2s which are just not strong enough -- my wife and I (350#together) felt the bed sagging the 1st night. For our king size bed, I added several slats, and had to put support posts under both support rails. Plus King size mattress warranties require a 5th foot, which this bed does not come with. I really like the bed, but one should be prepared to add their own supports once it arrives.

I use a regular box spring and standard metal frame under it and have the headboard attached to the metal frame. The headboard looks great I just love it. It's slightly lighter in real life than the pictures. Amazon doesn't sell the complete bed ( the matching frame with would hide the box spring) but an easy solve was getting a tailored bed skirt. It really looks great. As far as the metal platform you're referring to I'd assume as long as there is somewhere on the bed to attach the headboard to it should work. But I think just a standard box spring frame would be all that's needed. I hope that was helpful.

There are tubular aluminum "slats" that are welded to the bed frame (which comes in two sections...head of the bed and foot of the bed...where the parts connect is support by three legs...one on each side and one in the center). I'm not sure what the load limit is on the bed, but I'm 240 pounds and this is the sturdiest bed I've ever owned. Does not move, does not shake, does not creak. Knowing what I know now, I'd buy it again in a heartbeat. Easy to assemble, too.

Metal!! Drawers slide real good. This piece of furniture exceeded my expectations. Truth said, I was t expecting much.

The (4) feet are definitely wood. As for the rest ... the structure is actually hidden behind the faux leather which covers the entire structure. So what's under that is unknown. There are metal side rails with plenty of support for the mattress. The bed is both solid and sturdy. I've had the bed since January 13, 2013. No complaints at all. It is very low, using just a single mattress.

I cannnot answer that. I only bought the full size because that is the size of matteress I have. I know sometimes the larger things are cheaper than the smaller ones, and sure wish this wasn't one of those times. But, I do like my metal bed for my full size matteress.

We went to hardware store and just cut five more slats and it supports everyone. No clue on metal frame. Tha ks

The back is not wood and I had the same problem with the center support leg. It broke when the unit was moved. I'm not sure it wasn't my fault though. Other than that, I like it.

I believe it's steel. Trust me, I am a big person and this furniture MORE than stands up to weight test.

Yes. It's headboard, footboard, rails and center support. We were concerned about the center support as it bolts together (probably to make shipping easier) so we put 2 wood blocks under it where it's bolted, but after using this for a while I don't think it was necessary. My son has jumped on it and the bed frame doesn't shake as much as I was afraid it would. I wouldn't hesitate to purchase this again.

I easily attached it to a standard queen size metal bed frame. I used only the hardware included. Mine is solid hardwood, not particle board, and I am very pleased with the quality for the price. The headboard is shipped unassembled. I put it together by myself without too much difficulty, but another set of hands would have been helpful.

The slats on the full size bed are made of SOLID WOOD. They are a great support to the foundation.

This bed requires a firm surface. It must be on a flat surface or a spring support surface. I would suggest a 1/2 inch sheet of plywood be placed on the metal bed first if there is not consistent support on the entire surface.

The kit comes with three metal slats (horizantal bars) and it makes it sturdy. It will be possible to put more wooden slats if required. There is no beam in the center that would come in your way. The two "X" bars in the center connects to the horizontal bars at the bottom of the horizontal bars and so they also wont cause issues.

I have metal rails. Ones that are pretty much a square. With time, the bed was sinking in the middle. I bought this piece for support. It doesn't "attach" to the metal rails, but it stays in place provided that it is adjusted properly. I haven't had an issue with it since I've purchased it.

I'm not sure..but this frame is made well and very sturdy..the middle support should hold a lot of weight.We bought it for a full size bed and are very pleased with it.

The majority of the bed is of wood; but the legs are of high grade plastic and the end of the rails are metal plates that attach the headboard and the footboard. Also the covering is a faux leather and there is some batting under the leather to give a soft feel.
