This is my second Zinus bed frame purchase. I purchased this bed after noticing all of the positive reviews. Shipping was quick (the website stated it may take three-five days to receive it) I received it in two. UPS had a difficult time lugging this huge box into my apartment building and I had a hell of a time getting it up 5 flights of stairs. On the other hand, the bed is nice, sturdy, and the wooden planks are held in place by the Velcro straps. The bed is quiet and it can hold some weight. My partner is 6'7 250 and I'm 5'6 159 and it holds up . Assembly was simple due to the instructions (read the whole page of instructions before you start). Not a lot of under bed space and my headboard arrived with a few stitches missing from the seam. Overall, pleased with the look, feel, and quality. I moved my bed into a small space so you can get an idea of the size. I have a full size XL mattress set (my bed sits high due to the box spring- you do not need a box spring with this bed frame). I appreciate you for taking time out to read my review. I hope you found it informative.
This bed is a great value for the money.
It was fairly simple to put together.
Assembly time was about 45 minutes.
All pieces fit properly and securely. The needed Allen wrench was included. No other tools needed.
The instructions were sufficient. Not great but good.
The bed is quiet and sturdy.
The mattress (Ghostbed) fits perfectly.
It is not the fanciest bed in the world. Pictures are an accurate depiction of product. Adjust your expectations accordingly.
Almost a year in this with zero issues.
I'm 6' 3 at 240 lbs and it supports me very well. No creaking or any noise. It's also very stable. It stays put on my wood flooring just as it is.
I did not use the adhesive strips on the slats. Mattress stays in place no problem.
I would by it again too. A friend bought the queen size version a couple of months ago and is equally satisfied (I assembled that one too). Same experience as me so far.
All parts are conveniently stored inside the headboard during shipping. Be sure to unzip it to look. This is actually a great feature for moving and storage.
King size mattresses are 76 x 80. If you are short on one side, like the length, and the mattress overhangs on the width - rotate your mattress 90 degrees.
Finally, it is very quiet during those private moments.
Update at 33 months:
Still good! Was starting to hear a little creaking here and there. Tightened all Allen bolts back up- 90% of it went away. The fabric on the headboard is holding up great.
Very disappointed with this purchase. I submitted a service request to replace one of the defective legs three days ago and still haven’t gotten any confirmation that it will be replaced. I’ve called every day, just to be told that I have to wait for a service technician to review my request. Just to get one stupid part relaced. I even considered ordering a set of bed legs separated from a different company, the problem is that the legs in this kit are not sized to any standard. You can find several bed leg kits on Amazon, most of them six inches with a 5/16” screw. The kit legs are 6-3/4” with a 1/4” screw. I should have just returned the kit, completely useless, and the customer support is virtually nonexistent. I will update this review if I ever receive the replacement part or if I end up returning it.
Update 9/17/2018
It took 10 days total to get the replacement processed and receive a tracking number. I received the replacement legs today only to find that they are 1/2 inch shorter than the ones that came with the kit, and won’t work since the metal part of the frame has folding legs that are a fixed height to match the taller screw-on legs. I would return it but I don’t want to deal with any more BS from this company so I’ll find something sturdy for the leg to rest on to fill the 1/2 inch gap. One star review stands.
I just received my bed this morning and thought I'd leave a review because there aren't many yet.. Looking at a similar bed by Zinus, I know they had a lot of problems with the back of the bed frame being damaged, parts not matching up, and mattresses not fitting. I also took note that their product had been put on hold as they resolved the issue.
So, this bed came perfect, was easy to put together (took about 20 minutes with brother) without extra or unmattching pieces, and my mattress fits perfectly on top without overhanging or the foot of the bed being elevated (as some had problems with the other one before).
Long story short. This bed came perfect and a huge thumbs up to Zinus for listening to their customers and fixing their issues.
Also, I attached a photo because I love seeing photos when I check reviews. For reference, my mattress is 10" by Ghost Bed and bed size is king.
Note: This is day 1, I didn't sleep on it yet, will update if issues arise.
I don't typically write reviews but I'd like to leave some feedback for those that are in limbo like I was. I purchased the King Size bed frame. Overall it is a good bed. The metal framing is sturdy, the design looks great and the assembly can easily take you 20 minutes. The only downfall and by fair our biggest disappointment are the wood slats that the bed comes with. They are not sturdy and started bowing as soon as my husband laid on it. He weighs 276 and I weigh 170. Per the box this bed should be able to hold 500 pounds! We went ahead and installed extra support panels on top of the wood slats and the bed seems to be bowing a little less. For $154 you can't really ask for much. However, I do not believe it can hold two very large people. If the wood slats were more study and held up without bowing this bed would be 5 stars easily.
Don’t purchase!!! found an infestation of bed bugs in the headboard when i unzipped it so gross have to throw away
Excellent quality, really really nice bed for the price. Easy to put together!!
Bed frame looks good and setup was easy, but the slats are too far apart to use it without a box spring. If slats are more than 2 inches apart, it voids your mattress warranty. Now I have to buy more slats, which is not only a hassle but an added cost, just to make sure I can use this frame.
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 don’t 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 it’s 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 isn’t 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 it’s 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!)
Seeing the highly rated reviews for this bed, I decided to go for it as it was well-priced too. I will try to make it simple with the pros and cons:
Pros:
1. Reasonable price - I bought it at 207+tax and if you look at wayfair.ca, the similar bed ( search for Colby) is $350 which has the exact design as this one. I believe they are made by same manufacturer but rebranded to sell at wayfair. Considering that, it is a great price.
2. Sturdy - The bed doesn't squeak and is sturdy because of the metal frame (has some cons will mention later).
3. Installation was easy, took me an hour.
4. Slats attach to frame using the two sided "grabs". Don't know the exact name.
Cons:
1. Headboard is not that soft, it is soft enough so that it will not hurt if you hit your head against it.
2. Frame - The metal frame has a leg in the middle, which makes the bed look cheap from the side. Also there is a possibility that anyone might bump into it.
3. Bed is a little too high if you install a 12 inch box spring mattress. I suggest to go for an 8 inch one.
4. The slats are not strong enough for an adult to step on. So if you take the mattress out, never step or sit on it.
Overall it is a very good value and the price is great for a simple and functional bed.
We really love this bed!! We got it in a king size as a platform for our new Douglas mattress (foam mattress) and I had concerns about it being sturdy and supportive enough with slats. It turns out, it's incredibly sturdy, the slats are quite close together and it looks really nice! Was super easy to build and came with all the tools we needed. My husband and I sleep on it comfortably with no creaking or issues!
Fair warning, the king box it comes in is HUGE and you will need help getting it in your house and unpacked.
Overall really happy with this bed for the quality and price!
