Tests & Verdict

Here we collect tests, guides and product reviews so that you can create a picture of what others think about the product. This analysis and review is based on my experience and 12+ years of industry insight.

Plenty of positive experiences from customers for this particularly unusual bed frame.

Rustic and industrial design is quite rare so this might be your only option if this is the sort of style you are after.

Realistic price point that should make this accessible for a number of different purchasers.

Fairly fast delivery options on this popular frame.

Limited sizes of double and king at time of writing meaning those looking to fill a smaller room may be disappointed.

Headboard known to warp given its mesh metal design.

Why our sleep experts loved it

The Ruskin bed is a stylish and sturdy addition to any bedroom. Its unique design, featuring industrial piping and mesh detailing, is sure to make a statement and bring some edginess to your space. The dark brown powder coated metal frame is both durable and visually appealing, and the tall headboard is a nice touch.

One of the standout features of the Ruskin bed is the option to upgrade to sprung slats. These slats provide improved shock absorption and cushioned support, helping you get a comfortable night's sleep. This is a great added bonus, especially considering the bed comes with a 1-year guarantee.

Based on customer reviews, it seems that this metal bed frame is a well-liked product. Most customers have had very positive experiences with the bed and have praised its unique, industrial style and sturdy construction.

In terms of specific things that customers like about the bed frame, here are a few highlights:

  • Unique, industrial style: Many customers have mentioned that they love the bed's edgy, industrial look, which is achieved through the use of industrial piping and mesh detailing on the frame.
  • Sturdy construction: Customers have described the bed as being very sturdy and well-made, which is always a plus when it comes to a bed frame.
  • Comfort features: The option to upgrade to sprung slats for improved shock absorption and cushioned support is a feature that many customers have appreciated.

In terms of potential drawbacks, a few customers have mentioned that the mesh on the headboard may warp or bend over time if you sit up in bed for extended periods. However, this seems to be a minor concern for most customers, and the bed has otherwise received high marks for its quality and value.

All in all, the Ruskin Metal Bed Frame is a great choice for those looking to add some industrial flair to their bedroom. Its unique design, durable construction, and added comfort features make it a solid investment.

This bedframe is beautiful. Really easy to assemble and looks stunning. Great quality and the colour is gorgeous. Only qualm i have is the slats. Theyre very heavy duty and durable but the way the attach to the bed is a little strange to me. It is bolted onto the bedframe but only by 3 slats, one at the top and the bottom and one in the middle. This leaves the rest of the slats free to move. Although they are all attached together by material i have experienced quite a few times a slat moving too far one way and then falling off the bedframe where it should be propped. Personally i think it would be a better design if all slats individually were secured to the metal of the bedframe. Despite the annoyance of having to readjust the slats more often than i would like, i really do enjoy the bedframe and for the price think it is great.

The bed looks great, but here are my issues with it: 1) packaging is done in such a way that if you start cutting the tightly tied plasic wires holding the protective packaging and frame together you will end up scratching the paint off the frame; 2) it is very hard to assemble on your own, despite what customer service chat person might tell you - you ll need to balance very heavy frame parts in order to get the bolts in the right holes. It took me 2 hours if not longer to put everything together and still 3) one of the grooves where a bolt is supposed to go in was defective and the bolt only went half way and now has its threading dmagaed from all the effort applied to try and screw it in. Not sure therefore how securly built this bed will prove to be

Bed arrived quickly and well-packaged by a couple of nice chaps. The bed itself is just how it looks on the website - goes together easily enough. There's nothing particularly that screams super-high quality but it doesn't feel like it's going to break or tarnish either. The frame is more brown than I could tell from the photos but it's not a problem for me (just, if you were expecting black - it's not). The underside requires a central support so take that into account if you're planning to store things underneath.

I bought this a few months ago. I love the design and how easy it was to assemble. At first, I booked the service to assemble it. They were really nice and polite. I moved to a new flat and had to disassemble and then reassemble it on my own. With the stock I got, I noticed that the workmanship was not as smooth. There was a sharp edge and the headboard didnt feel as sturdy as youd hope especially when you lean pillows on it to read in bed. Overall I am still happy with my purchase and would recommend.

I received this bed several weeks ago now & Im pretty happy with it. As I live alone it was a struggle to put together - but if I had an extra set of hands it really would have been a breeze as everything was well labelled and pretty logical to assemble. In terms of comfort, I love it - the frame provides more support than I would have expected as there is only one supporting leg in the centre of the bed. My only issue is that as the bed is metal, it can be a bit squeaky when getting in or out.

I bought a bedframe but there were issues so I cancelled my order. I then found our Dreams bedframe and were delighted with it! The sprung slats are so comfortable and the mesh styling really suits what is a multipurpose room as its less obvious than a solid wood frame. I read the reviews before purchase and the main complaint was that people would have preferred a black colour whereas this is a dark brown. This wasnt an issue for me and Im so glad it didnt sway me at the time.

I bought this for my 16yr old daughter after her last bed broke. I was looking for a reasonably priced, strong & sturdy bed frame that was able to stand up to a clumsy teenager as well as looking smart. This bed frame fit the bill perfectly. We ordered the version with sprung slats and found the whole thing very easy to put together with two people & the end result felt sturdy and as though it would last. Both I am my daughter are very happy with it.

Bought this bed when I moved into my room house, my partner and I looked for ages and she stumbled across this one. I must say it was a great choice - with some beds you get naff wooden planks that break after a few months, these slats are built to last! The frame is also sturdy and because of its material, it's really easy to move around the room when you feel like a change. Highly recommend this product! Thanks guys!

Looks great and very easy to assemble. Goes great in my room with a couple of industrial style bedside lamps. Slats feel good quality so hopefully they'll last a while. Only thing that stopped me putting 5 stars is that I wish that the site had the precise measurements for the bottom end piece as it was a little taller than I'd hoped so I had to get a new tv stand so the bar didn't block at a chuck of my tv.

Good solid bed, what i love most is how easy the floor is to lay out. The metallic look gives a nice industrial feel to the room. Was easy to assemble seeing that i did it alone, all you need is something to hold the other end so its level, then you can fasten the bolts together. Its light enough to carry, making it easy for house moves. love that i can see under the bed as well.

Bought this a couple of weeks ago and I am very pleased with the bed frame. Easy enough to assemble, seems to be very robust and doesn't squeak as you move in it. Looks decent too. Only issue I had with it was that not enough washers were supplied to construct as per the instructions. I have it with a Simba mattress and it is very comfortable to sleep in. Would recommend.

Is there a supporting middle leg under the bed?

Answer: That depends on what system you opt for. Solid slats will not have a central support leg, whereas the sprung slat option has three of them.Thank you.
