ZINUS Olivia Metal and Bamboo Platform Bed Frame, No Box Spring Needed, Wood Slat Support, Easy Assembly, Queen

Thank You Zinus!
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).

Very easy to assemble. Looks great. Seems solid.
This will be a multiphase review.Part 1: Receiving, unboxing, assembly. The frame was delivered on the day it was expected, no delays there. Outer box was open on one end, but it’s double boxed. It is definitely heavy and bulky, but I was able to get it inside and to my room without assistance, and I’m a 40-something woman who doesn’t lift weights or do CrossFit. If you have to navigate stairs, you will definitely need a small army of volunteers. Unboxing was a bit of a pain due to the aforementioned double boxing. I did not find any damage to the materials despite the rough handling from the delivery driver, so the double boxing did do its job of protecting everything well. Assembly was a cinch! Seriously, I don’t understand how anyone can complain about it. If you can count to 12, and match like numbers (1:1, 2:2, etc) you can put this bed frame together…by yourself. One tip, in case you aren’t very handy, when attaching the wood slats to the headboard, just get the bolts started on both sides before tightening them down. You will need a little play in the bolts on one end to get the bolts in the other end started, then tighten up the bolts alternating between the four on each board so you don’t strip them. It took less than an hour to get the frame together without help. Construction seems solid. I stopped short of installing the slats last night since it was late, I was tired, and I didn’t want my goober dogs thinking they could taste test the wood slats before I have a chance to get the mattress set up. :)Phase 2: Slat installation & sleeping comfort. The slats installed easily. I love the velcro strip that helps you space them right and holds them in place. I wrestled my mattress out of its box and onto the frame. Once it began inflating, I noticed it overhangs the frame at the foot of the bed by about 2 inches. Since I looked very carefully at frame dimensions before selecting a frame that was supposed to be about 1-1/2″ longer than my mattress, this is a little disappointing. Since my mattress, at 12″ covers most of the bottom wood headboard slat, I am contemplating removing it and sliding the mattress up a bit. I can always store the slat behind the frame and use it as a replacement if the other two are ever damaged. On the other hand, the slight overhang of the mattress will make stubbing my toe on the metal frame more difficult, so maybe I leave it as is. I am not tall enough to hang off the foot of the bed anyway, and I did not notice it have any impact on the feel of the mattress during the night. All in all, I would maybe take a 1/2 star off for that issue. Having spent one night on it, during which I took full advantage of having a new large King size bed, I never once heard a rattle or creak, even with my two 60-lb dogs leaping onto the bed and their tossing and turning through the night. The platform provided great support. I will update again later after an adequate “break-in” period.

It’s not the same color as the pictures but still adorable! Very sturdy, smooth finishes , easy to assemble (would recommend 2 people doing it together though). The only drawback is it’s very light, so it may easily move around with a little push. Overall I’d definitely recommend it!

Really like our bed. Looks great, solid build, easy to assemble, doesn’t squeak, and great value. Shipped to our lake house, with no shipping fees. Just a great experience
