Will the base under the mattress come apart in more than 1 piece? I am in an older house and concerned about clearance thru my doorway into bedroom.

it came in three sections, we actually put it together in the bedroom. we have had it for approx 9 months and do like it and it is sturdy. hope this helps.

Yes. The bed comes in 3 boxes, 1 for each of drawer units and 1 for the headboard. We opened the boxes outside and carried the parts in separately. You should be okay as long as you don't have to turn any tight corners because of the length of the drawer units. We are very satisfied with the bed and are going to buy another one for my son's room. Hope that helps.

I recall the bed came in 3 or 4 boxes A lot of assembly is required. The boxes should clear a doorway as long as no tight corners.

The box arrives in several pieces, and you do have to assemble things like the base, drawers, etc. Beware that the boxes are HEAVY and if you're going upstairs, you will likely need some assistance! I am a grown man and still needed some help! Additionally, you can disassemble the unit if you need to remove it.

You would have to disassemble the entire bed. I think with the right tools, there would not be a problem. I really like the bed and it's sturdiness.

Our bed is 2 1/2 yrs old and there have been no problems. There is a drawer on each side of the platform of the full/queen, 19 3/16" x 29 7/8" x 4 3/16". You do not need a box spring. Some people have had problems with the mattress sliding. I put a couple of pieces of that stuff you use to keep rugs from sliding under the mattress. Works like a charm! I weigh 234 lbs, my husband is about 180 and we are restless sleepers. With the matching headboard (http://www.amazon.com/South-Shore-Step-Headboard-Black/dp/B00DSQ0VXE/ref=sr_1_114_m?s=home-garden&ie;=UTF8&qid;=1401252521&s;r=1-114) it looks great. I love my bed!

Yes, you'll need either a box spring or another foundation of some sort. A mattress would fall through without it.

No. It's a nice base for a queen or full size mattress. A word of advise- if you don't plan on using the drawer more than once or twice A month its not worth the Assembly time getting the drawer model.

No Sir! Please make sure to assemble in the room that you are planning to use it in. Me and my daughter may have gone about it all wrong, but we had the worst time trying to move this assembled product from the living room to the bedroom. We had to actually take the hinges off of the door because it got stuck and we could not maneuver it back out. If you're a person who regularly moves items and can gauge spaces, turns, etc it might be different for you. Otherwise, assemble in room it will be used in.

The Base is not as solid as it should be ...we didnt buy a box spring , and we noticed that the sides of our memory foam mattress were sort of sinking . My Husband reinforced the base with a wood plank and now it's fine / BTW it's a Beautiful Bed

Yes. The top piece is actually 3 different pieces if I remember correctly. The pieces include marks/pre-holes where you drill through the top and brace that sheet into the base underneath. The bed is sturdy and has made it through two moves. It is heavy and I recommend putting it together where you intend to leave it for a long time!

There is very little clearance. I took a tape measure and it is roughly 4 inches so it would not be ideal for storage under the bed.

It could probably be separated, but I have not tried since I needed to cordon off a 7' opening in my open floorplan house.

My estimate is ~6 inches of clearance underneath, but you'd need to lift the bed in order to store anything. Add an inch to that to get the height of the base that your box spring will sit. When the bed is "on all fours" there may be an inch of clearance max to slide anything underneath. If the bed is sitting on a hard surface, you might be able to add a half inch to that. Of note, you MUST use a box spring to support the mattress. Otherwise, you're wasting money. I continue to be very happy with my purchase. Hope this helps!

IT WILL move, but it is great if you secure it with large safety pins, or if for a bunk bed you tie twine to the spring/slats if able. You have to secure it somehow. Otherwise it is great. I pinned the part that goes under the mattress to the bed skirt, with the extra large safety pins, (the bed skirt can move too), but it IS staying secure. I could also pin it to the fabric on my box spring, but not needed. It is a great product! You have to think outside the box to secure it. I really love mine!

My guess would be yes. The mattress weighs 86 lbs which is less than a normal mattress of the same size. I have seen on a memory foam mattress site that the slats should not be separated by more than 3 inches. If the slats are wider you could place a piece of plywood on top of the slats or provide more slats. Hope this helps.

Since I always use mine next to the bed where it is stored under, it never moves. The only way it will collapse is if you engage the mechanism.

There's about 6 inches of clearance at under the mattress. Not sure if putting things under there would affect it's ability to turn into a bed. I haven't stored anything under there.

I purchased the previous model of this bed, and if you don't dissemble it before moving it will break. After two moves of unscrewing and reattaching everything, the particle board just split and it is no longer useable. However, I did contact the company and they will ship replacement parts free of charge (and free shipping).

It is open underneath. Mine has a support leg in the middle on each side. It would not be easy to slide a mattress in and out of under the bed.
