I'll be the first to go out on a limb and say it would probably be a furniture store.

Are you asking for a location?

Someone mentioned to me a website called "Samsung mall" where they bought some cheap shiznit. I have yet to search for it. Let us know if and where you find one.

Wow, you're about as cool as a wet turd. Enjoy your stay on the floor.

Can you read Korean?
Look for stores marked "가구" which means furniture. We bought a queen size bed and frame four aout 200,000 including delivery. Where do you live? There should be an area somewhere close with several furniture stores, possibly around the local open market.

I was directed to the furniture 'arcade' in 을지로4가 yesterday evening, but all the stores were closed. I think when I go during the day, I'll probably find a bed frame pretty easily...I'll post what I find...

thanks, everyone.

Great. So what the hell was the point?

Oh, and you can rest assured that we will waiting with baited breath to find out where you will be parking your a$$, which is undoubtedly fat.

Sorry, everyone. I just can't stand stupid, angry people who lash out over a simple question.

I found what I was looking for in 아현 on line 2. There are tons of furniture stores, and after asking a few shop owners where I could buy a 받침대 (I'm not sure if that's the real name for it, but explained that I wanted 'what goes under the mattress, made of plastic'), someone had one. It cost 40,000 won for a queen size, plus 5,000 won to have it delivered to my place.
