We just received this bed and after assemblying the frame, it's too long. Is there any way to shorten the frame?

Only by modifications ....you would have to cut the ends off of the frame for the length you desire and then weld the pieces back on to the rail. This is the only way we know of...hope this helps.

Love the bed, but hated the frame. I ended up bending the frame by pulling the footboard (bottom) in while sitting on the mattress. The only other solution was buying another frame, which I decided against. It looks fine once it is made up and I hardly notice that it (frame) was too long on one side. Still love the bed and get compliments on it every time I show the loft where it is being used. Thanks, rcaldwellgarrick@gmail.com

Make sure you look at the pictures and match the letters to the pictures. It will take at least 2 hours to assemble, possibly longer if you have never done this before. USE WOOD GLUE and extra screws to stabilize the frame (I screwed 1.5" wood screws into the ends of cross braces; I knew I would be moving the bed to rearrange the room, from time to time, and moving the bed will loosen the frame; make sure you do not put additional screws into the drawer area!); if you do not have a cordless drill or are unsure of how to use the additional screws, the wood glue should be enough to make it more stable. Use the wood glue on ALL of the unfinished end boards that butt into predrilled holes.

Sorry, but we gave this to one of our sons and he lives away so I can't look at it. We installed it for him and I seem to recall the bar and mounts arrive assembled and you just attach it to the wall. I don't know if it could be shortened.

I bought this and it was the right width (maybe with an inch to spare, I think, but good enough) but ~3 inches too short, so maybe start there? The bed is actually even better than it seems - we are really pleased with it, as is our son!Sleep Master iCoil 6 Inch Spring Mattress, Twin

I have one, and i did not need anything else. Although, I gphad to exchange the frame I bought. At first I bought a different frame than the one that is sold with the bed, and it didn't fit the frame. Amazon exchanged it no problem.

I had the same experience at the beginning, but I took it apart and looked at the directions again. they are not the clearest but once I figured how it should go, it turned out well and it's a great bed. sturdy and unshakable. good make and great deal.good luck

The original box springs do NOT work well, you need a flat surface so there is not sagging - we removed the box springs, put in 2x4s and plywood and that works wonderfully well on the original frame

I have a 13 foam bed. Adjusting it is not something I want to do often. If you want to put in place and leave it do....but to make adjustments a few times a day....not worth it. Because you have to lift it fully in order to lower it, then lift it again. But I do still love the bed frame....I sleep full time on the first notch up.

The height is not adjustable. The frame size was adjustable, but still did not fit my king mattress. The frame was too narrow. My husband had to drill new holes and add new nuts and bolts to the frame for the mattress to fit....not an easy task!

We ordered the split King. The two frames were shipped separately from the two mattresses. Each frame setup consisted of twisting on four legs, and popping in the rollers, inserting the bottom support rail, and plug it in. We had room inside our current bed frame (length/width). We removed all the bed slats, removed the footboard temporarily to roll the new frames inside. There are two set of legs included for a choice of height. The frame comes with headboard attachments, but we did not need them. We have hardwood floors, so 4 rubber cups were needed under the rollers to keep the bed from shifting.

There is a knob on each side that you need to loosen, then adjust the height and re-tighten the knobs. Not a real pain to do but not real quick either. My biggest complaint is that the bolt holes in the top did not line up with the frame. I had to drill some new holes to assemble it. If you're handy it will be a breeze.

U need a specific frame. I wish I would have known this before I purchased the bed.

Sorry I can't help because the contractor installed it. I did notice a few dings around the frame which indicated he had some trouble with it so you're not alone. It 's really beautiful so hope you can get it to fit. Mine snaps shut tight so I wonder if yours was damaged in shipping. Good luck

We bought 2 twin mattresses, put them on existing twin frames and then pulled the frames next to each other to make one, sort of queen-sized, bed. This allows us to move independently in the bed without disturbing one another. The height of this bed is about that of a regular bed. I doubt if this helps, but hope it does.

There were 2 holes on the bottom of that front headboard piece that would lie flush with the bed. You attach there through the back of that board then into the bed frame... perhaps you used the wrong board in its place?

It would be too difficult for me to do it. The frame is in two sections that are unfolded and bolted together. I don't consider this to be an option for a temporary bed but a frame for a permanent bed.

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.
