We bought this bed around two months ago and the base has already broken. Hopefully Sleepy's will be able to help us with this issue.

Nice Solid bed

Date:April 28, 2013
Pros: Great value, Easy to put together, Attractive/Stylish
The frame is nice and sturdy, but I do recommend all the slats be screwed in, the setup only includes about half the screws. It's enough to put the bed together, but if you want to feel the bed is at it's sturdiest, you will need to supply about 8 of your own screws.
It's much lower than what I am used to, but getting used to it. May look into adding a half-height box spring sometime in the future to bring it up to a height I am more used to.

We Love It!

Date:April 4, 2013
Pros: Great Construction, Great value, Attractive/Stylish, High quality
Our bedroom is at the top of a winding stair case and the very first thing you see when you hit the top landing. For years you were greeted by frumpy dust ruffle covering the metal frame and box spring of our bed. Yuk.
Now you see a sleek, modern bed that is just beautiful!
Love the look and very much appreciate the gentlemen that installed it for us at no extra charge. They were polite and in and out in no time. Would recommend to all!

Needed a platform bed due to space restrictions we were unable to get a box spring upstairs. This was a great option for us!

Excellent space saver

Date:March 7, 2013
Pros: Great Construction, Great value, Easy to put together, Attractive/Stylish, High quality
This platform frame saves a lot of space, and provides great support. It also saves a fair amount of money in place of buying a frame, plus a foundation in order to support your new mattress. In a bedroom that has a low eve, there isn't enough room for a bed that is that high, so this piece helps to lower the over all profile.
It fits perfectly in our bedroom, and look great, too.

Perfect Bed

Date:November 3, 2012
Pros: Great Construction, Great value, Attractive/Stylish, High quality
I just moved into a house that has a smaller bedroom than I am used to, I saw this bed frame on the floor of the sales room and loved how simple and expensive it looked. I was please to find out it was much cheaper than other places had frames for. It was delivered and put together in less than 30 min. It fits perfectly because of how minimalistic it is and looks modern and clean. I love it. It is also very sturdy and does not make noises when you roll over or move around on you. Great price and great quality!

Consider another option

Date:July 2, 2012
Pros: Easy to put together, Attractive/Stylish
Cons: Not supportive, Low quality, Poor value
The wooden boards used to support the mattress are weak and weakened more by the screws used to assemble the frame, and the center support board has many screw holes in it, which makes it the weakest part. The support legs that attach to that center bar are poor quality, and with minor wiggling, fall off soon after beginning use. The first leg to fall off did after only three days. If there is only a mattress on this frame, I strongly recommend buying from Sleepy's the support board they sell for whatever size frame you purchased. I bought something similar from another retailer finally after using it two and a half months. The spaces between those boards decrease the support of the mattress as time goes on because the mattress starts to sag through those open spaces. If you add the support board under the mattress, it decreases the stress put on those individual weak boards and uses the outer support of the frame instead. I do not recommend using this frame with a mattress alone. Try it with a box spring or a support board. I don't recommend buying this frame at all, since the chance of it falling appart quickly or ruining your mattress is very high. But for the people who bought it already and want it to work out, I wanted to offer some ideas for solutions before you have to throw it away. Thankfully, I bought this frame during a sales event, so I did not pay the current price for it. It was still too much to pay considering the poor quality it turned out to be. I'm confused about why/how it's a top rated item. It may seem to be a good item for the money at first based on the positive reviews , the rating it somehow got etc. This is not what it seems to be. Keep looking.

Best bed you can get for little money

Date:August 5, 2011
Pros: Great value, Attractive/Stylish, High quality, Great struction
The Modus Newport bed is very stylish in is own simplistic way. It is increadibly sturdy and at the same time very low profile.
My only gripe is how many times I have accidently bumped my leg on the side of the bed as I was walking past. The frame has many corners that are metal that can be troublesome for somone who has never had a bed as low to the ground as this one.
Bottom line, great bed for the price, I just need to watch where I am walking. :-D

Disappointed

Date:July 25, 2011
Pros: Attractive/Stylish
Cons: Poor struction, Not supportive, Low quality, Poor value
I purchased this bed in full size for my teenage son about a year ago. It was assembled by the delivery men. All was well until 8 months later when the railing that the slats rest on cracked. We glued and nailed it back. Two months later it cracked again in another location. We fixed it again. It happened once more. I threw the bed out. There is no warranty coverage for this.
I was very disappointed. There was only a mattress on top - no box spring. He is 165 pounds and I haven't seen him jump on a bed since he was 5 so I don't know why it keeps breaking other than poor construction. I would highly recommend seeing this bed in person so you know what I am talking about.

Simplicity and Perfection All In One!

Date:July 20, 2011
Pros: Great value, Attractive/Stylish, High quality, Great struction
Great bed frame! I had it delivered and it didn't take long (maybe 15 minutes) for them to put it together! I would highly suggest having them deliver/set it up for you as it takes all the hassle and stress away! Although, I'm sure it wouldn't be too difficult to do yourself. I've been using the bed frame for about a month now and have zero issues! All around perfection in the areas of stability, comfort and style! Can't go wrong with this buy! Perfect fit to any home!

I had been shopping around for a platform bed for weeks and nothing struck me. Then I saw the Modus Newport and instantly fell in love. It's sturdy and stylish and suited my taste perfectly. It's everything I hoped for and more.

Good bed for price

Date:June 7, 2011
Pros: Great value, Attractive/Stylish
Cons: Poor struction
This bed is great and very solid for the price, my only complaint is that the middle support pieces slip out sometimes. It's a good quality frame, just needs a little tweaking in the middle. I really love it though besides that. I'm recently out of college and want to have furniture pieces that don't look like I'm a student anymore. I just have a memory foam mattress, no box spring and it's perfectly fine.

Pros: Great struction, Easy to put together, Attractive/Stylish, High quality
I was tired of nasty metal frames with wheels.. I like this piece because it is simple, but classy. Nice wooden frame that does the job right. I wish it were a bit cheaper, but hey I am pleased and finally feel like I'm out of college! One step at a time people..
