One review says these are not strong enough to use for a bed base?? Is this true as that is what I am looking for.

These are very light weight and have hollow sides. I would not put anything of substantial weight on/in them.

I would not sleep on it, no. Definitely sturdy but not meant to act as the foundation for "bedtime activities"... I mean, like your body weight... get your mind out of the gutter!

I would question using as a bed base. Pretty sturdy and I guess it would depend on how many you used. Also if the weight was distributed evenly, say as in a twin that wasn't used roughly.

I don't think I would use them for a bed base. They're made of press board, only 1/2 inch thick. I wouldn't recommend it.

The back is just a thin veneer. Definitely not strong enough to use as a bed base.

I bought them for my husbands books. He has them on top of his desk. They appear to be made well and after a year their is no sign of warping. They fully met our expectations

I don't know what size bed you have been planning to use these for, but I wouldn't use them for a base. They are not made to hold such weight, and they are only 15" deep, so the bed could be only 30" wide. You need a much wider base, built to hold over 100 pounds to hold a bed, and 100 pounds would be for a small child (you must add the weight of the bedding as well). I have mine stacked, and although sturdy enough for my books, I would never consider the weight of my queen-sized bed on them, let alone with me.

I agree with the previous responder... They may be able to hold that weight stationary, but are not secure enough to provide safe resistance. They slide around when I just take towels or my bathrob on/off the hooks. Also, I don't know if I would trust them to not bend against something pulling against them.

I wouldn't use them for support standing up. I have potty next to my bed and use a bed rail to get up.

I would recommend using the center boards unless you plan on putting your own supports on the exterior. Not using the center boards will affect the strength and stability of the garden bed. The boards are thin. I underestimated the amountdof dirt these could hold.

I bought them for a small bedroom chair. Honestly, I would think the bed would be more secure with some sort of metal attachment or frame. Best of luck.EH

These are very sturdy, they can accommodate two adults well. As long as you have a good bed frame, you should have no issues.

I'd use caution if planning to use these on bunk beds. Bunk beds have a tendency to be tipsy and top-heavy. If these were ever to get slightly out of position (not centered) on all four legs I think the chance of an accident could be very significant.

I used them on drywall. However, I would think that using them on baseboard would be fine also. Maybe hold even better.

Well... not really..I suppose you could screw them directly onto the box spring frame.You would need a hell of alot of them. I can't imagine that it would be very sturdy though. One turn while sleeping might send you flying out of bed. Without a bed frame you would be safer using a couple of cinder blocks... 5... one in each corner and one in the middle. it would be safer and cheaper just to buy a metal bed frame.

they would if you bought enough of them. i don't think you could make them hold up the mattress in the middle. you would need box springs under your mattress in order for them to work. you would have to but a couple on each corner of the bed and two or three sets in the middle.

They are really strong but as most things will tell you and the previous reviewer can attest to they are fragile. If they're not going to be hit directly they definitely would suit your purpose. They don't FEEL fragile but if you let them even into each other they can break.

I really would not. These are for more for stationary items. Even then, our bed seems a little unstable, but that is due to how high up these put our bed. If you put them on a glider I can only imgine the rocking back and forth force, will cause the whole thing to topple over.

I would think as long as the wheels went into the center (or bed posts) it should be fine. I used a company who gave me theirs to use- bedbugcentral.com. They are black which apparently is more enticing to the little critters. But it's the same premise- these were pretty heavy duty. I didn't use them so I'm not sure if they would crack if they were on carpet. My other ones did (different company). You have to make sure your bed linens and comforters aren't touching the floor. And your pillows, etc shouldn't be touching the wall. Make your bed an island. You can also get GREAT info from blog called bedbugger.com. Good luck!

I am not sure how big the base of the legs on this bed are but from the picture I would say that yes they would. Very sturdy and strong.

I think they would be strong enough, but they may be too long. There were some shorter ones listed when I ordered these.

If you stack them to raise it 5 inches I don't think they would be stable. A block of wood with a middle indentation for the wheel would be better. Even double stacked is not stable. The least little move of the bed and they come undone. I don't think I would even use them for the 1 inch lift.

Possibly anchored lower to the base. You would have to keep it on real low as it shakes the bed. Keep D batteries handy!
