Back in my first house, we upgraded our bed and triedto move the old bed into the basement. We had a very small hallway with a door leading ti the basement. The mattress fit, of course, because it flexes. The frame fit because I could disassemble it. The box frame, made of iron and wood slats, could not fit. That day, I cut all the wood slats in half, bent the metal, and got that box spring downstairs. Then I but bracing brackets on the slats and unbent the metal. A few years later, we did the same process over again when moving.
