Bed Frames

Metal bed frames (a.k.a. Harvard frames) are often, but not always, adjustable.

We do not accept headboards, footboards, wooden frames, or any size bed larger than queen.


Receiving #

  • Bed frames should be duct taped together upon receipt on the dock or when picked up.
  • Ask the donor what size it is and note it on the tape.
  • The frames will still be inspected, but this keeps the pieces together.
  • Leave on the pallets in Processing.

Inspection #

Supplies #

  • Duct tape
  • iPad
  • Inventory cart
  • Measuring stick

1. Assemble #

Assemble the frame, making sure the pieces fit together properly. See diagram below.

  • Is all hardware included, even feet/wheels? There is a bin of extra wheels and feet if needed.
  • Are any pieces broken or missing?
  • If you have an incomplete set, hold onto it until the entire pile of unprocessed frames is gone. The pieces may still be in the pile.
  • If something is broken or only fits a king bed, save the feet and put the metal in metal recycling.

2. Determine Sizes #

Inventory has 4 options: Twin, Twin-Full, Full, and Queen. A bed that adjusts to twin, full, and queen can be labeled as either “Twin-Full” or “Queen”. We tend to need more twin-full frames, so use that label in most cases. If we’re low on queen frames, label it a queen as long as it has a center support.

  • There are 2 boards marked with measurements that can be used to determine size.

Twin #

  • Must fit twin only

Full #

  • Must fit full only

Twin-Full #

  • Must fit twin
  • Must fit full
  • Optional: fits queen
  • Optional: has center support

Queen #

  • Must fit queen
  • Must have a center support
  • Optional: fits twin
  • Optional: fits full

3. Disassemble & Tape #

Disassemble the frame and wrap together on each end using duct tape with the wheels/feet facing the same direction.

  • Secure any loose wheels, feet, or hardware with duct tape

4. Label #

From the inventory check-in on an iPad, print a label and apply to a headboard bracket. Frames are listed under Beds in the software.

4. Put Away #

Put away complete frames in the third room of the warehouse.
