Zinus Epic Metal & Wood Platform Bed with Wood Slat Support, Queen

Sturdy and easy to assemble
Very happy with our purchase. It’s well built and was relatively easy to assemble with clearly labelled pieces and the sequence of assembly. We like the wood tone with the dark blue color and are using the bed with a Casper mattress directly on the slats. It is excellent value if this is the kind of frame you are looking for. One thing to note, the box weighs 80 lbs so I opened it on the main floor and carried pieces up to the bedroom.

Perfectly simple
Goes together so simply and quickly – the ratchet tool is brilliant! I put it together by myself in the time my roommate had a shower and a cigarette. The bed is sturdy and nice looking; the dark denim blue is set off nicely by the light wood legs. The painted metal headboard piece is not well finished – feels like dirt/debris in the paint. Not easy to see this flaw, though, and for the price I’m still very happy. It’s just what I was hoping for! Overall I find Zinus products to be good quality and good value (I also have their smart base bed frame in king size, and a 10” Queen memory foam mattress for this blue frame).

Broke 9 months after purchase
Super easy to set up. Limited complaints until we discovered the headboard leaning— discovered that the anchors had stripped. As we were trying to fix that, the legs at the foot of the bed broke. My husband would love to brag that it was our intense use of the bed that broke it— alas, a difficult pregnancy has meant that this is a product failure and not poor treatment by the user. The timing for this is incredibly terrible— I am due with our first baby in two days and now have no bed frame.

Great value and nice look
AS ADVERTISED. quality of steel is good. Sturdy and the paint is durable on the head board. The wooden legs make a nice accent

Okay, reading my headline sounds as though Zinus paid me to review this bedframe, but I assure you, this is not the case. I’ve only had one interaction with Zinus in my entire life, and I’ll share more of that later in the review.To start, I’ll say that I was looking for the perfect, affordable bedframe for about four months… Yes, you read that right; four months of nonstop, daily research – from text reviews, to videos, to DIY options, to store-browsing, etc., and I finally settled on the Zinus Epic Queen-size bedframe. So, why did I choose this one? Simple; the good reviews, the style and the price! This bed seemed like a win-win-win, and who was I to deny myself victory?I placed my order and waited patiently for it to arrive. It must be noted that I shipped this bedframe to Miami, and then overseas to the Caribbean, and crossed my fingers, hoping it would survive the trip. Well, finger-crossing seems to work, because it didn’t have a dent or scratch when it got here – the packaging was perfect!It’s heavy, and generally you may need two people to maneuver this baby, but if you’re a strong, burly man like myself, you’ll be just fine moving it on your own (lift with your knees people!).Unpacking all of the items revealed the best set of instructions I’ve ever seen on any product (I’m not kidding, making pancakes is harder), and it was a breeze to assemble. It also came with all the right tools to get the job done, not just right, but quickly! More and more, I became not only a fan of this bedframe, but of Zinus.Until… Well, while assembling it with my girlfriend, we noticed something – it was short of two Small (S) screws, and we decided to use the Medium (M) screws to secure the small legs to their bracket on the frame. In doing so, we overtightened the screws and split the small legs (just a bit). It’s a very small split in the wood, and the legs are still very usable. But, I feared the worse and knew that would greatly shorten the lifespan of those legs. My worst fear is having them break while lying on the bed.Anyway, we finished assembling the bedframe, put the mattress on it and tested it out (wink wink)… Not only is it well-built and durable, but it looks absolutely gorgeous, with those blue metal accents. We’ve been using this bedframe for about two months now, and it has held up quite well.Now, this is where Zinus and I meet… After I registered my bedframe on their website, I contacted support to see what they can do about the fmall feet that I split. Well, they responded promptly (within the same day), and without any questions asked, offered to ship me two small screws and the two small replacement legs that I split. The only thing they requested from me was a photo of the damaged legs, which I supplied forthright. Apart from making and selling a great product, their customer support is A1!I do not work for Zinus and am not affiliated with them, in any way. I’m just a regular guy like you, who happens to like nice things on a small budget, and I’m very pleased with my purchase. My girlfriend is too (wink wink).

This bed frame was so easy to put together. Probably took less than an hour. This went into my spare room but was thinking maybe I should have swapped bed frames and kept it for my own room.The day before I took all the pieces out of the box and laid them all out as I read some of the reviews and some people said they had missing parts. This was not the case with me, but I wanted to check ahead of time. The only thing was that all the pieces were labeled with letters and the instructions were numbers. It did have a picture with the corresponding letters and then step 1, 2, 3, etc. It was relatively easy to figure out.The instructions, parts, and screws(hardware) were labeled well. I was surprised at how easy everything fit together. I did this by myself, one person and less than an hour. IKEA takes me way longer to put their furniture together.Plus, it’s sturdy and well made. The color was just like the picture, navy blue, and wood.If I needed another bed frame, I would definitely buy again. Or maybe look into other products by the company. I did a ton of research on bed frames and I’m happy with this purchase.

Ok first off they had 2 sets of instructions listing step by step in letters and then by numbers. After some figuring it out we stated with the letters only and got the bed together. That is the only reason why it got a 4 star instead of a 5. This was a bed for me but I gave it to my son since he needed a bigger bed. He does like it for the blue frame and being bigger.One thing to remind everyone this is a PLATFORM bed and you don’t need a BOX Spring at at. We only ordered a mattress and that was it as it was 13″ tall and not counting the height of the bed. So far no noise come from it and it sits on carpet in his room.
