Alton Cherry Eastern King Platform Bed

I would not recommend putting a box frame on this bed. It's not needed so the slats aren't adjustable and if you put a box frame, it'll stick out and you'll see it. I was told in the store that they sell a small/thinner box frame type thing to go along with this bed in case you have a thin mattress or a memory foam thats thin. I imagine its the right size so it doesn't stick out and then you can have your mattress taller. I guess it'll have your mattress lay right where the frame is. Because I have a traditional spring mattress with a topper on top of it, they didn't recommend the box spring thing. Hope that helps!

Nope! It has slats that act as mattress support.

Slats look about 2-2.5" apart. I purchased a bunky board in which was placed on top of the slats to support my foam mattress. That'll prevent uneven wear on your mattress. (Note, it does make the bed pretty high and mattress doesn't sit in the frame.

The bed is delivered unassembled, but assembly is included in the delivery price. Ours took only 15 minutes to assemble with those pro Living Spaces folks. It can be taken apart and transported, although I believe the headboard might not be worth it to disassemble completely.

It's a terrible queen sized frame. At 63", It's 5" too wide for most queen mattresses, which is 60" standard for high end mattresses with cushioning. The Alton is also 85.5" long, which is 5.5" longer than a standard queen mattress. It doesn't make sense on why Living Spaces made a queen sized bed, that's not queen sized. There's no queen mattress that's going to fit this frame, which is too bad, because it's a good looking frame, but if your mattress has massive gaps everywhere it's useless. DON'T BUY this frame! 63"W x 85.5"D x 46.8"H

Didn't count them, but there are lots of slats. No need to place a board on top for support. We have a foam mattress on it and it is great.

No, it's not that deep reddish color. It's brown with a slightly orange hue. I would say medium color wood (not light, not dark).

I’d say pick it up in a truck. Unless you’re driving an SUV with fold down seats it will not fit in a car.

This bed has four additional support legs running the length of the bed. The bed has no metal parts but a wood frame & slats. Living Spaces assembled the whole bed for me.

These are solid wood not laminate. I wouldn’t say it’d scratch ‘easy’ but it doesn’t look like there’s tons of layers of lacquer so I’d make sure to treat it well.
