Buying advice

What to Look For

  • Steel gauge: thicker tubing = less flex across the 72" span. Look for reinforced center rails with support legs.
  • Slat type: steel slats are maintenance-free; wood slats are quieter. Foam tape on either kills noise.
  • Height: 14" is the sweet spot — storage underneath, easy to get in and out.
  • Finish: powder-coat resists chips; avoid thin paint that scratches on assembly.
