Looks great, typical Zinus quality. Completely silent and very sturdy
This is the 4th Zinus bed frame I’ve bought, one for my old bed, two for family members, and this one. I have nothing but good things to say about them. I’ve been getting the folding platform bases, because of the perfect balance of low price, excellent quality and silence, and ease of assembly/disassembly/moving. Having just gotten a new mattress, I wanted something a little more decorative, so I sprung for this upholstered frame, and so far it’s great!This is obviously more expensive than the folding platform bases Zinus makes, but to be honest, compared with similar frames I’ve seen in other places, they’re still very reasonably priced, so no complaints there. This is also considerably more difficult to assemble, but that is no surprise in comparison, since their folding bases literally go together or apart in 5 minutes assembled by one person, being shipped almost entirely assembled and just unfolded and screwing on 4 wing nuts. That being said, I assembled it in around an hour, and a good 10 minutes of that was just getting it out of the box, since a second person would be really helpful for that. All tools needed are included, and the instructions are clear and easily understood. The fact that all pieces are contained inside the headboard continues Zinus’ tradition of making their bed frames easy to move, which I really liked about the platform bases. This will obviously take a lot longer to disassemble than those, but I bet knowing how it goes together now, I could likely take the whole thing apart in about 20 minutes, and reassemble it in half an hour or so. It’s only really 8 pieces, and 2 rolls of slats, so total 10 pieces and about a dozen Allen screws (OH, and the legs. Add 4 legs, which are sort of pieces and sort of fasteners). The tools provided are a regular Allen key, and a really interesting ratcheting Allen wrench thing which works really well for being such a basic thing. Ikea could seriously take notes. I might even use it for other Allen bolts, because it’s neat!Once I had it put together, and having tightened down all the screws properly, I was unsurprised to find that it is equally as silent as my other Zinus frames. This is my favorite thing about their frames, they make ZERO noise, as long as you put them together properly. My platform base from my old bed has been completely silent for about 4 years now, which I have never experienced with any other frame. I have rubber glides under each leg because I’m on laminate floors, and that’s all that is needed. I have never needed to re-tighten the wing nuts in that entire time.PROTIP: Just like when assembling anything else, you want to:A: Make sure you don’t tighten any fasteners completely until the whole thing is together. This keeps both sides equal in terms of tension and makes sure everything is square.B: When you do make the final tightening of the fasteners, make sure they’re good and tight. If you don’t tighten the bolts/screws enough, they will back off and that’s where your squeaks and rattles come from in the future.Overall, I am so far 100% satisfied. If I run into any problems, I will update the review. Considering the luck I’ve had with Zinus’ products thus far, I don’t think that’s going to be an issue. I could be wrong though, considering how different this type of frame is from the ones I’ve had before. That being said, there is every sign of forethought and careful engineering here, so I don’t think there will be any problems.

Blown Away
I am blown away by this thing – we got a King which was around $300 and the quality is unbelievable for that price. Dead simple to build – I built it alone in about 30 minutes, and it was extremely easy even with the large King sized pieces. They even include an all-metal Allen key ratchet wrench which makes quick work of everything. Hardware comes well organized with an inventory list, and instructions are simple and clear.All fasteners are proper bolts, not screws, and all bolts go into metal threads in the various frame pieces, not wood. Excellent. Also, the bolts seemed to be decent quality and did not have the oily manufacturing residue you often find on cheap hardware. Some extra/spare hardware was included as well.The slats are tied together and Velcro down to the top of the bed frame so they do not move, and that also makes them easy to install precisely. Distance between the slats is about 3.5 inches so they are OK to use with most memory foam mattresses. We use it with a Casper Hybrid (foam + coils) and it doesn’t bulge through, nor does it void the mattress warranty due to slat width. If you’re worried about this, you can throw some cardboard, hardboard, or 1/4″ plywood on top of the slats before putting your mattress on it. With a 12 inch tall mattress on it, there is not too much headboard showing, maybe 16 inches or so – you do no want to be using a box spring, nor is this bed designed for one.Fabric is decent quality and the bed is very sturdy. The headboard does not move independent of the frame if you shake it (one of my quality tests while we were shopping). It has a slight manufacturing smell to it, typical of any new product that has fabric/foam and I expect it to dissipate soon. If that is something that bothers you, just leave the parts out for a couple days before assembly so it can fully off-gas.There is a handful of reviews from 2018 that mention bed bugs, but we did did not notice anything (I checked meticulously with a flashlight), and I highly suspect that was an isolated incident based on the thousands of other positive reviews. It’s also -30C outside where I live right now, so if any bugs were in the box, they died on my doorstep haha.The bed arrives with all pieces and hardware packed entirely into the headboard, secured behind a zippered compartment that makes for good “secret” storage after the fact. Everything was well protected by cardboard and Styrofoam.We’re going to buy a queen version for the spare bedroom, because at this price they can’t be beat. We looked at a lot of bed frames in the $500-1000+ range at various mainstream furniture stores and this one is at least as good if not better than anything we saw under $1000. The cost/quality ratio is off the charts in my opinion.

This bed!
read the reviews before purchasing and thought, wow 55+ people raving about this. Got to buy it.The pieces are all tucked neatly inside the headboard. It comes with all the tools you need to assemble. I wanted something I could do myself (I donât ever build furniture) and it only took me 37 minutes from start to finish. The directions are very easy to understand the the hardware was very sturdy (ie no stripped screws). There is velcro that holds the slats in place.My mattress is a bit higher than I would have liked as it takes away from the headboard, but it looks so great. You could store your millions of dollars in the back of the zippered headboard, too. I will definitely be buying more Zinus products in the future. Excellent quality for a great price. I paid $246 for a king. Buy it now, if itâs available that is!UPDATE 29 SEPTEMBER 2018: This bed is amazing. I moved houses with it, all the pieces fit nicely in the headboard and it was easy to set up again. I have a cat, and she hasn’t made any claw marks – good craftsmanship. 5 stars all around!!(Shipping, now this isnât the manufacturers fault, but I ordered on Amazon Prime, Feb 13 and I was to received it Feb 19-21. I contacted them after the date and am told itâs sold out but I would get it as soon as it comes in. It was shipped overnight on March 1 and I received it March 2. Worth the wait!)

This is a great bed frame, for the price. I would have given it five stars for that alone. But, the product goes well over and beyond simple value. The bed comes with adorable signs that tell you where everything is – it’s not intuitive, as it all comes “hidden” in the headboard. Everything is labeled clearly and everything you need is included. Including a mini allen key socket wrench that makes screw tightening so easy. The instructions are written in plain English – not weird Google translated gibberish you get a lot with products made in China.I am so happy with this bed, everything fit and everything went smoothly. Not everything ticks those boxes; I would recommend this bed frame in a heartbeat.

I bought this bed frame for my queen-size mattress. At first, I had doubts about assembling it as I was alone and was going to do it for the first time without tools. But the instructions and small parts made it really easy to assemble it for me. It did not even take me an hour to assemble the whole bed frame without any external tools.Now for the quality, I used this bedframe at my relative’s house and really liked it even before buying it. It has a sturdy design without being too heavy. The headboard is hard enough to provide support and also soft enough to not be uncomfortable. My mattress fits perfectly on it and doesn’t move easily. The design is also lowkey which I wanted for my bedroom.The only problem I had was the delivery was not done at my door but was kept on the ground floor. So if you don’t have anyone to help you carry that to the bedroom I would really recommend taking the “to the bedroom” delivery option.

This is a great queen bed frame for the price range and would highly recommend it. My only gripe is that it sits too low that does not allow sufficient storage underneath the bed and at times cannot be sturdy if you are a sleeper who moves a lot 🙂 Otherwise assembly is a breeze and looks decent

Not only is this bed of great quality, I could tell that the seller is phenomenal as well. Prior to purchasing this, I read through at least 40 of the reviews on here to see if I would regret it. It was significantly less expensive than I had imagined for a quality platform bed so I was apprehensive to waste money on a “cheap bed”, but it was the style I envisioned for a long time and I really wanted it to be quality. Spoiler* It totally exceeded my expectations!*A few reviews mentioned that it was heavy, but I felt I would be more concerned if it was not heavy- I imagine that durable parts are going to be heavy and if you’re ordering a bed that you want to stay together and bear the weight of a good mattress and 1-3 people, you should be prepared for a heavy package. My package was heavy, I was relieved.A few reviews also mentioned that it was hard to put together and that the directions were less than comprehensive, sometimes non existent, as well as some of the necessary parts. I did notice that a lot of those reviews were old, so I was hoping that meant that the seller had since improved- and they certainly did. I am 5’5″ and 130lbs, I put this bed together entirely on my own in under 1.5 hours. The directions were well written and included photos. As far as parts and pieces, there were only 8 screws total that need to be inserted and they provide you the allen wrench to do that with. (They also provide a small spare parts section of all the size screws in case you lose one- awesome!)A few reviews mention that they were confused and thought they only received the headboard and it took them a bit to realize the parts were inside. I think the seller has since improved that as well because when I opened mine, there was a big exciting “here we go! parts are all inside!” sticker right next to the zipper that opened the headboard so I had no question about what to do next. The zipper was actually a really neat unexpected surprise to me as well, as I had imagined that the headboard was hollow and open at the bottom part, where I would find the parts, but actually they were neatly zipped into the back. That also allowed me to store the directions and spare pieces they gave me right back in the headboard, unseen and not lost, in case I need to take the bed apart in the future to move.My only con is that I personally thought the headboard would be larger and you’d see more of it as I was really looking forward to the diamond stitch and this color gray (and was impatiently awaiting it’s arrival to start planning what nightstands would match). However, I think this is my own fault because I am using my own pillowtop mattress which is probably taller than most mattresses that Zinus sells for this bed, so by the time I made the bed and put pillows on, there wasn’t much headboard left to see. Still worth it!Lastly, my package included a note from the seller which I thought was just the coolest and cutest thing ever! They personally thanked me for my purchase, mention that they read all reviews and make improvements as suggested, and even provided a blank “thinking of you” and “thank you” card that they encouraged me to send to a loved one just because- how thoughtful! As stated above, reading the reviews first and then receiving my package with improvements to things that customers had complained about, I whole heartedly believe that they are a customer service oriented company and aim to continuously make their product better and have succeeded in doing so. I am so happy with my purchase and would recommend to anyone!Thank you for my beautiful and quality bed and thank you for listening to your customers, Zinus!
