It is smooth, but not a solid frame. I have my mattress only it, no box springs and works perfect. Is the memory foam more flimsy or how thick is it? My mattress is about 14 inches thick.

No it is slatted with metal bars. Very comfy and fine with just our mattress on it.

the top of this bed frame has slats on top as well, but I think that it would be fine. If you put this frame together correctly, you will love it. I had a boxspring that was really creaky and noisy--not any more. this frame is very sturdy and quiet...

I just purchased the queen size foam mattress. I have a platform bed frame. Will it be okay on that or do I need to purchase something else with this mattres to be able to sleep on it and acquire great sleep?

It appears that the legs, top, ledge and shelf portions are all solid wood. I believe only the sides and back are MDF. It's a very solid bench. I'm quite impressed with it and have had the bench for months now.

Its soft in the middle, I wouldnt use it as a shelf unless its towels or blankets

It is, but the shelves are designed to be smooth on top and if you turn it over you have those support bars that run front to back sticking up. That might not matter, depending on what you want to store on them.

Nope you should be fine it is fairly smooth and def sturdy enough. You could always lay something down on top of frame such as piece of plywood then soft sheet or blanket over that then air mattress on top and you def would have no problems. I've seen then cheaper less sturdier frame in person, make sure you get this one the sleep master elite IMO.

Brad, yes it is smooth and flat on top. I made a shallow tray for the top of mine that I lift off when I need to access whats stored in the top compartment. The top is substantial enough to support any load I've had on it. Bob N

Yes you can. There are no stops at the top or bottom of this frame, so your bed can be slid in those directions. I like the frame, by the way, it holds my frame very securely and is good and sterdy.

No. My floors are a little uneven and the frames hinges seem to have allowed to to adjust adequately. With a mattress on top I don't notice any uneveness. Worst case is that you could put some pieces of wood underneath feet as needed to level.

You are not supposed to have a solid surface like plywood under a memory foam mattress. The foam needs to breathe and putting it on a solid surface like a floor or plywood can cause it to grow mold. That is why most platform bed frames either have the wire grid like these or slats with spaces because memory foam needs to breathe.

I put in right on the Sterns & Foster double bed box springs andhave that on the floor......no metal frame ...that gives it a low profile or else you would need a latter to get in bed.

Mine is OK, but I suggest you put a layer of the gripping-type rubber shelf liner-works great under my futon cushon!

No, the top shelf is a bit wider, not easy to see on the product photo. I have this myself and can testify to this fat.

Chandramohan , I built my own frame out of 2x6 . The box springs and mattress rest on top . I also screwed the frame ( head board, foot board and both side rails ) together because they kept coming apart . Now it is one solid frame. After a lot of doing this and doing that , it is finally the way I believe it should be. If I had to do this over again I would probably just buy a bed from some place like Rooms to Go and let the store employees deliver and put the whole thing together and leave all the work out of it for me.

The bottom side of mine is smooth and the top side is a matte type surface.Works for me and I have used it this way for 6 months with no problems.A very high quality product that does not slide around on my hardwood floor.

if you have a pedestal platform bed it will work on that we put ours on our box springs and works great. I would not advising on just putting on the carpet as an extra sleeping arrangement on hardwoods or vinyl yes for that is a smooth flat surface. memory takes the shape what ever it is on . we have really enjoyed ours it takes away all of those pressure points that regular mattresses have. if you need any more info let me know.
