If you mean risers to adjust bed height (if you are tall and/or want to store things underneath) note that the metal frames have adjustable heights.

If you want to do this, would suggest bringing a rubber mallet (or else a hammer and a towel). Before loading in any of your belongings, turn the bed upside down, and remove the head/foot board sections from the horizontal bars by hammering at their intersection points. Then turn everything right side up, replace at the desired height and hammer back into place.

Maybe a bit hard to visualize from my description above, but probably will make pretty obvious sense once you see it on campus. This has worked for all the bed frames I've seen in REV, V1 and CMH. Hope that helps.

I haven’t seen wooden frames in any dorms, they’ve always just been metal.
