Best value and quality Iâve ever bought!
Iâve bought other frames before for more money and even had wood slates, that didnât hold up as good as this one. I did a lot of research this go around, and found this one on many lists as a quiet and durable bed frame-which was a concern for me. Have had it for 4 months now and zero sound or squeak when getting in or out or moving around. I bought the heavy duty even though at 145lbs I could have saved a little and bought the regular. What I was most surprised at first glance was how thin the frame looked out of the box and how lightweight it was. I thought I had made a mistake with this one, but I was proven wrong. Itâs incredibly sturdy. The matress does not move around. The frame stays in place but can be moved without a lot of pressure if I need to clean underneath. It was so easy to put together, also. Literally snaps into place and a few screws tightened. Took about 10min or less. I love that there is storage space under my bed now also. A really great quality purchase.

Updated: Full review two years later! (Preliminary Review: Unboxing and set-up)
I will write a full review of this bed frame after I have used it for a while but wanted to give a preliminary review first.I’ve had it for about a month before setting it up (waiting to get a new mattress and get rid of my futon), so it’s been in the box which was on the large side but was able to tuck it away in my kitchen for a few weeks. I live on the third floor of an apartment building and while the box was a bit bulky and heavy, I was able to get it up to my apartment by myself with no problem. I’m a big girl with a not-so-great back, but it was definitely manageable.Having forgotten anything I read in the reviews about assembly, I was expecting a cumbersome set-up job with a lot of little parts and pieces and metal clanging around as I jostled this frame around my tiny little one-room apartment. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the frame consists of two separate pieces that fold out, and are then joined together by two screws in the middle. THAT IS IT!! Putting it all together took me about 20 minutes. Probably would have been less if I had more room and wasn’t having to rearrange other furniture almost every step of the way.I have my new mattress set-up on the frame and expanding now (I got a Tuft and Needle original mattress which is a little longer than the frame, so not sure if that’s a frame issue or mattress issue, but hardly noticeable) and was impressed with how easy it was to move the frame during the unboxing of the mattress and how lightweight it is. I am honestly a little apprehensive about the two pieces of the frame staying together with two screws as the butterfly bolts don’t screw as tightly as I would like. I anticipate maybe having to find a washer or nut or something else to just make sure the fastener doesn’t come off, but that’s super easy so I’m not too worried about it.I did really appreciate that the hardware (two long screws and two butterfly bolts) came in a package together so it was easy to set them aside and not have to worry about them flying around. Oh! I also really appreciate that the frame came with two non-slip pads that are often used for carpets. That will hopefully help prevent the mattress from slipping off the frame.The storage capacity underneath this frame is AMAZING! Because there are two braces in the middle of each section, the storage underneath is in two sections divided horizontally but I can fit so much stuff under just one section because of the height which I am loving in my small apartment. The stuff from under my futon is now under ONE section of this frame, leaving me so much more room to store things that have been getting in the way.I will give it a full review after sleeping on it for about a week, but I’m optimistic that I will be highly satisfied!****UPDATED REVIEW****Two years later I am back to finally update this review! And two years later I am still 100% satisfied withthis bed frame! When I moved last summer (Aug. 2020), taking this apart on moving day was a snap and it took me five minutes to set it up at my new place. I had previously been worried about the two screws joining the sections coming loose but that has been a non-issue in the last two years. I eventually added a bed skirt to help conceal the totes and things I have underneath, but the storage space has been such a game-changer for me, even when I moved to a bigger apartment. The frame is super quiet and holds up with some company in the bed, so no complaints there! ; )I really cannot recommend this frame enough, it is one of the best Amazon purchases I have made. If you’re looking for something sturdy, easy to put together (seriously only like FOUR PIECES in total!), excellent under-bed storage, and durable, GET THIS FRAME!

Deserves 10 star
Amazing product. Set up took less than 5 min, and that’s with un boxing it, and cleaning up. Easy set up. No assembly required. So far, it is extremely stable. No squeaking, shifting, etc. 16″ drop has 15″ of space underneath. Metal legs are set in a few inches to provide space so your toes don’t hit it. Rubber caps on the bottom of legs. I did order mattress guards so the mattress doesn’t shift for $10. Also ordered something like a bunkie board except there’s no slats. It’s compressed cardboard, super strong. It will support your mattress properly, it was under $60. Everything has worked out great!!! I originally ordered a 20″ different metal frame. Took over an hour to set up and was way too tall. Looked awful. I needed the underneath storage but realized the taller the bed, the more unstable it will be in the future. This 15″ underneath area ended up being perfect. Love love love this…

Great price, great product!
Several months in and this frame has proven to be great! I bought this one for a number of reasons, the first being: storage. I live in a small space, so I tend to buy bed frames that are pretty high off the ground, that way I can get the most out of the room underneath. This one has plenty of room for me to put all of my seasonal clothes, tubs with comforters, and overall serves as a very convenient place to put things I don’t get out often. What’s even better is that the frame is so well-supported, I have no use for my box-spring. A plus for space efficiency.*PG-13 content!*Second, “noiseless,” was also a priority for me. I’m sure it was for many others, too, for the obvious reason that nobody wants to come out and say 😉 My husband and I are on the thinner side, I’m 5’6″, 110lbs, and he is 6’3″ at 170. That being said, despite this, we have broken multiple bed frames throughout our relationship in shorter spans of time. Three months in and the frame remains sturdy, and silent. Again–small space–a creaky bed frame would not go well for us. The only time there is ever any noise is if frame itself bumps into the wall. This may be because we don’t have a headboard, but it is easily solved by sliding the bed away from the wall a few inches.*Okay, back to G*Delivery was very fast, and once it came, assembly was very easy. If I remember correctly, the frame comes in two pieces that fold apart and lock into place. I believe the only part I had trouble with were the wing-nuts, just because it took some force to get the bars in place so I could put them on properly. The whole thing took maybe 10-15 minutes to set up on my own, and I’m not very experienced with assembling things.Overall, I’m very happy with the frame and hope it continues to hold up for us!

I have always just put my bed on a box spring on the floor, but I felt I needed more storage in a small living space so, after some looking around I bought this.I had, at first, been hesitant about a metal frame because they are usually so unstable and tend to squeak with every movement. I always slept like crap on metal frames because I am a light sleeper and need a good amount of back support. But the frame had good reviews and was incredibly cheap compared to more fashionable wooden frame options. Too my delight, I found that this frame has none of the problems I was concerned about. It’s really light and easy to put together – essentially, the legs just fold out and latch into place. That doesn’t sound like a sturdy setup, but trust me, it is; the metal is very thick. The entire thing folds together for easy moving if you need it. I honestly think you could even use it as a camping cot with a blow up mattress and something to put between it and the slats, simply because of how light and easy it is to move.If you’re looking for a quiet metal frame with lots of storage space underneath, I’d absolutely recommend this one. My housemate ended up going with a slightly different model from the same brand and she’s very happy with it as well.

Easily set up in about 10 minutes by 2 middle-aged women who didn’t want to put their glasses on to read the instructions. I found that the diagonal support pieces (that you have to swing into place and then tighten the wing-nuts on) were a bit stubborn – they seemed very tight and then suddenly snapped in place. We made sure everything was snug before we put the mattress in place.I’ve been using it for a month now, no creaking and it feels sturdy.My only issue is that I wish the clearance was a bit higher. The 18″ model was about twice the price for the extra 2″ height, so I decided to try this. The 18″ would have allowed me to use my existing Rubbermaid 68L totes; instead, I made a trip to a local store and bought 2 kinds of Sterilite totes, alternating the 2 different lengths and widths, to use all the space underneath. Even these were a bit tight at the top, so I added rubber furniture cups under the legs, and that gave me just enough room so it doesn’t grab at the top. Solved!

Me sorprendió lo bien construido que está. Al sacarlo de la caja esperaba mucho menor calidad por estar hecho en China. Pero la sorpresa fue muy agradable. Es ligero y fácil de armar. Lo uso para un colchón luna y lo siento bastante firme. No hace nada de ruido, tiene la altura perfecta, incluso puedo guardar la aspiradora bajo la cama. Además cuenta con un espacio de largo extra para la cabecera.

We love our new frame….it’s perfect. It was very easy to assemble…it came in just two sections that get bolted together. Even our cats love it cause now they both fit underneath it.

*PositiveItem arrived in timely manner, was an excellent price, quality, sturdy and solid.Platform was exactly as ordered, arrived undamaged and super-easy to set up right out of box, just unfold and place where required.*NegativeOne of the leg braceâs was a âtadâ sticky to secure, but not an issue.So far (2-weeks in) the Zinus platform does not make any noise and the enclosed 2 rubber pads hold my Memory Foam securely in place.Would highly recommend this product!@Larað¸
