Affordable and Easy to Assemble Bed Frame/Platform
I received this product in fairly good condition. The packaging was fine, nothing was bent or missing, and the included hardware and tools to put the bed frame together are sufficient to get the job done.Opening the packaging, everything is plastic wrapped and pretty well protected so that you don’t accidentally scratch any of the pieces.There are included instructions which are pretty easy to follow, essentially just match up the numbers on one part to the numbers on another part and screw the two pieces together. This entire process took me maybe 20 – 30 minutes to do by myself and I was taking my time with it. If two people were to put this together, it would probably only take about 15 minutes.Once put together, I was surprised by just how sturdy the frame seemed to be. It is well made and the welds on the pieces seem to be fine. As others have mentioned, the center supports seem to be the only area where some additional reinforcement could be needed, but so long as you set the bed in the spot you intend to keep it and don’t drag it around on the floor too much, the center supports are sufficient in my opinion. The bed frame or platform, whatever you want to call it, is also the perfect size for the queen mattress I bought for it. I had seen reviews on other bed frames where some mattresses were too big or too small so the fact this was a non-issue was nice. Another big plus for me is that there is no rattling or squeaking. The bed frame looks great while providing a nice base for my mattress to be supported on.I suppose the only con to this bed frame is the lack of storage volume underneath the frame itself in case someone were to want to store things underneath it. You can definitely fit things that aren’t too tall underneath but if you’re someone that likes to have a lot of under bed storage, then this bed frame probably isn’t the one for you. I wouldn’t really call this a con however seeing as it is listed as being only a 6 inch tall platform, so there you go.All in all, 10/10 from me. It met all my expectations and ended up being a much better product than I anticipated and I would highly recommend it to people that want a low profile, budget friendly bed frame option that looks good and is functional.

Good product
Sturdy, makes my mattress feel even more comfortable! Mattress doesnât move around on it. Takes up a little more space that the mattress doesnât. All the parts came with it. Nothing was missing. Easy enough for one person to put together.

Extremely well made frame!
I am so very impressed with the Zinus Platforma frame! It is very easy to put together. Just make sure you TAKE THE TIME TO LAY ALL THE PIECES AND SCREWS OUT CORRECTLY BEFORE YOU START. (If not, you will probably screw up.) The picture directions are self explanatory as you simply follow the numbers. The only thing that is not explained (and I’m not quite sure how it could be explained in a picture) is as the frame begins to take form and you are working at securing the top side rails to the end rail, be sure at the same time to also align the opposite end so it will slip over the top end bracket. Otherwise, when you get to it, there won’t be any play left to slip it together because the opposite end is already stable. (Sorry if this sounds confusing.) I had to go back and loosen some of the screws in order to have enough play to do this.Another thing that impressed me is the way the slats are constructed and fit. They are thick and sturdy, and are connected together with one continuous strip of velcro correctly separating and spacing each slat. There is a ledge on the top side rails that is velcroed on which you simply lay the slats down and extend the velcro, and everything is correctly spaced. If anything looks out of wack, just go back and check to make sure each velco has been fully extended.The slats give a nice firm comfortable foundation for my mattress, even better than the box spring that came with the mattress. Originally I had purchsed the 6″, but I felt like I was back in college sleeping with a mattress on the floor. The Zinus people were great to work with, and I exchanged it for the 10″.The 10″ without a box spring gives just about a normal mattress height…not too high or too low…, leaves enough room to store other things under if wanted, gives my 16 lb Havanese room to hide under the bed, and the bed’s not so high that I worry about them hurting themselves jumping off if they decide not to use the ramp I made for them.Not only is the Zinus solidly built, it is also very good looking. At the moment, I am still using my old headboard, that I just leaned against the wall after attaching 2 felt squares to protect the wall. Seems to be staying put well. There is no way to screw it to the frame, although I am sure you could improvise somehow if wanted.Some month previously, I had purchased a less expensive 14″ metal frame from Walmart. Rather than having one slat across, they had 2, which ended up pushing the mattress right up against my spine, making my entire body hurt. Also, the slats kept falling off the frame, and in the end the legs of the frame bent because they were not made strongly enough. It was a disaster! Needless to say, I returned it.Zinus told me that their beds are designed in the US, and made in China. If their frames are any indication of the quality of their mattresses, I will buy their mattress next time I need one.

Not bad, not bad at all.
Okay so I tried to be like one of those cute handy girls who do they own DIY projects with the pallet bed frame. That $%#? was HORRIBLE! So I couldnât tolerate it any longer. I needed something quick and cheap. So, Iâve had this for about two weeks now. Not bad for the price, came together quite well. Easy to build and holds my husband, kids and myself. I donât have to walk on freaking pallets to get out of my room, I have so much more space. I would recommend this to others. I have no complaints.

Perfect for what it is and price
Needed this because my dog could no longer work his back legs so I wanted it to be easier for him to get into bed.From the other reviews I expected this to be a tedious & difficult build but it took less than thirty minutes to complete. The items arenât marked with Aw, B, or C but there are pictures that clearly show which piece is which.Bed is sturdy, lightweight, and looks exactly like pictured.Great product for the price. Would recommend.

I waited long till the twin narrow size is available, and I am so glad to get one. The frame is of great, sturdy quality. The slats and the attachment on the frame is good and does not slide out of place nor make unusual noises. The height is perfect storage for luggage bags. It came with some spare parts and has a nut screw driver so you don’t need to have anything else. I was able to assemble it in about 20-30 mins. I recommend this bed frame. I like the soft wooden slats vs the other bed frame version with metal slats. This is way better and comfortable!

Was pretty stoked it came a day earlier and it was easy to put together UNTIL I got to the middle support bars. There are 2 holes for the top piece (5) and only one hole for the bottom piece (6) and it doesnât even line up with any hole so I canât even put one screw in, so it just sits there. I donât know if itâs stable enough or if itâll collapse. Super disappointed because I thought the good reviews outweighed the bad but it looks like the bad reviews were correct. Also just checked and the price dropped by $20 too.Edit: upped my stars as it hasnât collapsed yet.
