I was looking for a metal bed frame without a footboard, because I find it easier to make the bed without one. This was the closest I could find that would support a foam mattress without a box spring and it had great reviews. Although a couple of the parts were mislabeled, it was a cinch to put together ans seems very sturdy. My only issue is that the mattress fits snuggly in the frame and it is a chore to properly make the bed and tuck in the sheets.
