Zinus Deluxe Faux Leather Upholstered Platform Bed with Wooden Slats, Queen

Under priced for its Value. Sturdy and Good Looking delivered Bed with 5 Year Warranty !!
For this price point including well packaged UPS/FedEx shipping and 5 year warranty, you will not find a bed of this quality with slacks. I kept this product in my wish list for many days, scouting around Sears, Ikea, Best Buy and even local furniture stores before I decided to purchase this bed. I am glad I took this decision. In Ikea, a similar bed would cost 700 CAD with slacks with delivery. In other places, I was getting similar beds but of a poorer quality.The bed itself is very well made and it is not surprising that the manufacturers have patented this design. Inside of the bed are four cross metal frames that are light, solid and very easy to fit together. The headboard and foot board slide into lock nuts from top after which they do not apply any pressure to the headboard and footboard downwards. I was initially worried about the legs breaking now under stress but after putting it together, I can see that they is no way it can happen unless you put it together in a wrong way. The corner top bolts of the headboard and footboard can only be fitted with an Alan Key (provided) as the area is not accessible through a screwdriver.Some suggestions for those who are fitting it together.a) Attach the legs to the headboard and footboard first and keep both on the side for later use.b) Fix the metal cross beams and ensure that they are touching the floor without having to push them down.c) Loosen the bolts on the headboard, footboard, and slide in the metal frame. Do not tighten the screws yet.d) Start fitting the side boards (4 pieces) by loosening the bolts as far as you can without removing them. Slide the side boards.e) Very Important – If you do not want your footboard and headboard legs to hold any stress (the load should be held by the metal frame), ensure that the headboard and footboard once slid into the bolts are free floating on the floor i.e. no push required from top to keep them stable on the floor. Now , asking someone to put a very slight pressure on the top, tighten up the bolts.Some areas for further improvement for which I would pay a little higher price for this bed :a) The slacks are not as strong and may crack over time if more than the 250-pound load applied regularly. I would recommend the manufacturer to provide an option of extra strong slacks. I can always buy these on a nearby store for around 30-40 bucks.b) The support on the sideboard where the slacks sit is made of wood and has the potential to sag. The manufacturer should consider providing metal bars instead.I am not too worried as there is a 5 year warranty and practically all components can be easily replaced. I will come back and leave an update in few months and hopefully I never have to use this warranty.

Stylish and Sturdy with Storage, but Beware of Packaging Issues
I recently purchased the Zinus Deluxe Faux Leather Upholstered Platform Bed with Wooden Slats, and overall, it has left me quite satisfied, earning a four-star rating. The bed boasts several notable advantages, although there are a couple of drawbacks that need attention.Let’s start with the positives. The bed’s design is elegant and spacious, adding a touch of sophistication to my bedroom. The overall construction is sturdy, providing a reliable and durable platform for a good night’s sleep. The assembly process was straightforward, and I appreciated the inclusion of wooden slats, ensuring adequate mattress support without the need for a box spring.One standout feature is the ample storage space beneath the bed. The inclusion of under-bed storage is a game-changer, offering a convenient solution to declutter and organize bedroom essentials. This practical addition enhances the functionality of the bed, especially in smaller living spaces.However, there are a couple of drawbacks worth noting. The bed’s height is higher than that of a standard bed frame, which may not be suitable for everyone. This can be a minor inconvenience, particularly for individuals who prefer a lower bed height or have difficulty accessing higher surfaces.The most significant concern arose during the unpacking process. Unfortunately, the packaging had been compromised, leading to an unpleasant discovery of live cockroaches and cockroach eggs. This was an unexpected and highly undesirable experience, raising serious concerns about the storage conditions in the warehouse and the effectiveness of the packaging in preventing pest infestations.In summary, the Zinus Deluxe Faux Leather Upholstered Platform Bed is a stylish and practical choice with its sturdy construction and ample storage space. While the height may not be suitable for everyone, the packaging issues were the most significant drawback, warranting caution during the unpacking process. Despite this setback, the bed itself is a quality product that, with improved packaging, could easily earn a higher rating.

Excellent bed
Easy to assemble and disassemble. Very sturdy. Sleek design. Overall a great bed for a great price. It was also packed very well.

For the price of this queen frame I wasn’t expecting much honestly when I ordered it. Sure, in the pictures it looked nice but so has a lot of other things that later turn out to be a disaster with either putting it together or keeping it together. This has been a wonderful exception!Everything you need came packaged inside the headboard. On the back there are two zippers that unzip the entire back of the headboard and inside is all of the pieces needed. I really liked this feature as I moved recently and was able to break the bed down and transport it all in one single protected piece.The design is very nice, modern and sleek and durability and quality both seem to be excellent. I have used this bed for nearly a year and it’s held up great. One of my main concerns were how sturdy the boards underneath the mattress would be and so far I’ve not hand a single one break. When looking under the bed when my 2 year old and spouse’s 2 year old are jumping on it the boards have a little give and relieve pressure which is a nice added bonus. There are two groups of boards, all strapped together with velcro to adhesive to the bed frame itself which also has velcro. I have not noticed this getting worn out or losing it’s strength and the boards seem to always stay in place.The frame itself was extremely easy to put together and there weren’t many pieces that had to be put together. There’s two panels on either of the long side of the bed, then the small foot board and head board, along with the framing that runs underneath (which is one part) that goes from either side and front to back.There was one small issue with this, one of the leg holes for the headboard seemed to be stripped out a bit so it wouldn’t tighten very well and wobbles a bit, however, UPS lost my first bed in transit and so it was awhile before my originally order and when I finally received a replacement so I can live with this, plus with kids jumping on it, two adults falling on it after a long day of work and plenty of rough activities on and around this bed it’s held up extremely well.This was a bargain on this and I love it! I also like the addition that there’s no need for a box spring anymore. Box springs seem old and archaic and I am glad I upgraded to something more modern. Also, I have seen a few complaints about gaps with other type of bed frames like this..I experienced zero issues of this and my mattress fit perfectly inside and it does not budge, wiggle or move at all. There also a decent amount of space beneath this bed, a small dog and a 2 year old child can both climb under this with no issues, makes for additional storage is need be.Design seems great, assembly is easy and quality is fantastic, I’d recommend!

We bought this frame a few years go, and now that I am in the market for a new mattress, I am looking at the dimensions of this frame to compare to the new mattress options, to make certain it will fit, so I thought I’d leave a review;Overall, this was very well delivered and the UPS delivery person, worked very diligently to make certain we understood the box instructions as to which side was up, and as it in indeed a heavy item, he did not want to risk it getting damaged.My assumption was he has recently had some sort of incident with a similar item and a return due to its weight and fragile packaging, and that the fabric is easily damaged in transit, and this wasn’t going to happen again.As I also recall, He was right, there wasn’t a lot of protection around the faux leather/vinyl material within the cardboard and he was looking out for us. So , beware of that. And props to our neighborhood delivery driver . He went above and beyond to help us get this very heavy item inside our breezeway, but we were also on good terms with him, so that might have been a factor in our favor.As assembly and installation, that’s up to you own level of following instructions, and patience. And we are all differently built in our level of patience and calm, aren’t we?Have a well lit room, with a good helper and make sure you aren’t using that screw instead of the one that just a bit shorter. And there is no need to rush.It’s also a good time to vacuum or mop whenever you install a new mattress bed frame and may wash your curtains, but you knew that, didn’t you?What I will say is that after having this a few years, is that you need to check that middle bar underneath and check it periodically. Make sure it is level, or perpendicular -rather. We find ours gets unhinged sometimes. This middle under bar needs to be re-aligned and the entire frame might actually need to be completely flipped over and this center bar may need to be re-tightened from its slip point. This is something another reviewer mentioned as well, but I would consider ours a over time occurrence of weight and then Ed moving about on a very slick wooden floor every time the sheets are changed and when we get our storage bags out from under it.Otherwise this has been a very nice bed frame for the price. With seasonal and or periodic/monthly maintenance on the hardware, we have found it to remain more durable than we originally anticipated.Also, our cats have never used it as a scratch board, which was astonishing to us, so that was another worry we had before purchasing and it did not appeal to them, for some reason.
