I'm really struggling to level my metal bed frame because there's a hump in the concrete floor beneath my laminate flooring. We're renting and the landlords aren't taking action to fix this. The laminate has started to break down in that area because there was a desk and a roller chair positioned there, so we've shifted the furniture around and are now trying to fit the bed in that spot instead. Unfortunately, I only just discovered the bump after moving stuff around, and it's making it impossible to place the bed properly since some legs are on the hump and others aren't.
The bed has three different types of legs, all of which are hollow with caps on the bottom. I've searched everywhere for adjustable feet but haven't found any that would fit them. I even attempted to hire some carpenters through an app to build a platform to level the bed, but they both canceled after seeing photos of the situation. One carpenter suggested adjustable feet, but didn't want to help with the installation.
I've got wooden shims and even thought about using L brackets on them for stability, but just can't seem to start this project because I'm feeling really stuck. I don't know if I need to call a handyman, a carpenter, or a contractor. I don't want to move and would happily pay a couple hundred for this fix, but I'm not ready to shell out thousands to replace the landlord's flooring!

Hey! I totally get the frustration with a floor bump. You might want to check out some adjustable bed frame risers. They can help prop up the legs that are lower without too much hassle. Here’s a link to one I found [Adjustable Bed Support Legs](https://www.amazon.com/Adjustable-Bed-Support-Legs-Replacement/dp/B0CKMCR3RS) which could work for you. If that doesn’t do the trick, looking into a different type of bed frame that’s easier to adjust might be a good option too. Uploading pictures would definitely help everyone visualize your setup better, though!
That's a smart idea! Do you have any experience setting those risers up? I wonder if they’ll really make a difference over bumps.
