ZINUS Shalini Upholstered Platform Bed Frame, Mattress Foundation, Wood Slat Support, No Box Spring Needed, Easy Assembly, Dark Grey, Queen

World’s worst handyman successfully assembles bed frame! You can do it! Impressed with Zinus!
I have trouble turning on a light switch. Enclosed was a terrific small ratchet that is so helpful.Bed looks good, and is sturdy. Well-designed. I was surprised how inexpensive it is. Meets my needs perfectly.Bought for rarely used guest bedroom where I had queen-sized mattress on floor – unappealing.Box is heavy so I unpacked parts downstairs and carried them up. Please assemble with a partner as recommended. I was solo 98% of time and that made assembly slow.Dark pictograph instructions were sometimes hard to figure out initially. No written explanation, which would have helped pathetic me.I thought it was missing 4 one-inch bolts. Went to Lowe’s to buy equivalent but not exact. Decided I’d finish it next day. Put on my jeans and found original bolts in my pocket. LOL. This taught me to leave all parts close together and not in my pocket.I am impressed and pleased with Zinus. Michael

Perfect for the price.
This bed frame is actually really nice in person. It is well-made, easy to put together, and has lasted a really long time in my teenage son‘s room. It is a perfect bed for people who like this style or transitional teenagers who want something more grown-up but you’re not sure if they’re going to tear it up. It works perfect. I highly recommend it

I am so impressed
This bed is amazing. Delivery was postponed twice but I really don’t mind for the quality you get.Very solid, and so clever (the entire bed fits inside the headboard).Looks lush and expensive, the dark grey is beautiful.It does not squeak, and comes with quality tool, and is very easily put together (took me 45mn on my own with kids around). Instructions are very easy to follow.I have had many beds over the year and this is the only brand I will get now.I have the king size – I put 2 twin mattresses on it and they stay in place. We love it.

Love this
This exceeded my expectations! Easy to set up and very sturdy! We are so happy with the outcome. Exactly as it is shown in the picture and described. Great purchase, no regrets

The bed arrived in 2 days with prime. It was well packaged. Everything was included inside the headboard. It was very heavy for me to manouver. I read the instructions but still felt the need to find a video of someone assembling the same bed. It was easier to understand after seeing the video. I am a senior and managed to assemble the bed myself in just over an hour. Someone with help could easily do it in half that time. The ratchet tool included made the job easier than just an Allen key for me. All hardware was included and labeled. It is a very attractive bed and I would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone . I would also order from the company again based on my experience. It is now set up in my guest room awaiting its trial run. I am pleased with my purchase.

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.
