Abstract

The bed frame structure, including leg posts and beams. An upper part of each leg post has connection wing plates. Each connection wing plate is quickly assembled/disassembled with an end portion of a respective beam through at least one quick-connect assembly. Each quick-connect assembly has a quick-connect hole and a quick-connect fastener on a respective connection wing plate and the corresponding end portion of the respective beam. No tools are required assembly. Users can achieve connection of a leg post and a beam manually through a corresponding pair of quick-connect hole and quick-connect fastener, such that assembly of the bed frame is easy and effort-saving.
