My dad was a nomad, and I too travel the world over a long military career, so I have handled and seen a fair number of bed frames in my time as I packed and unpacked all over the planet. Ninety-nine percent of bed frames are absolutely generic and run of the mill. This bed frame is the exception. I have never seen one so intuitive and logical to assemble, given its plethora of features. It folds out easily, locks into place and is extremely sturdy. I'm kind of nitpicky about these things so when I tell you that this is an excellent product, I mean it. The price of this bed frame is no different really than any other bed frame, but it is the quality that is the difference. Buy it and you will like it. I have no idea why I did not see this feedback in reviews. The Zenus bedframe was NOT compatible with two different headboards from two common retailers: Wayfair and Target. I am giving 2 stars because I am pleased with the quality if it could have been secured to my headboards.The slots in the brackets of the Zenus bed frame do not allow the bolts for the Wayfair nor Target headboards to pass through. As a result you cannot screw the bedframe into the headboard. The slots in the Zenus bracket are too narrow for the gauge of the bolts that come with either headboard (see photos). I was shocked this universal/standard size. I have smaller gauge bolts around the house that will pass through the slots of Zenus bracket fine, however that is useless because a skinnier bolt won't screw into the predrilled holes in the headboard (obviously if the bolts are too skinny it just spins inside the headboard holes). So bottom line, this bedframe is not universally compatible. I have no idea why I did not see this in any reviews before purchasing. On the positive, it was very easy to put together and came with a nifty ratchet (photo). Overall disappointing product.Update: I secured the headboards to the studs (which I planned to do anyways). Then to attach the bedframe I used washers and drywall screws. I drilled new pilot holes in the bedframe. Slipped the washer on my screw (so it wouldn’t stop through the Zenus bracket) and drilled the screws into my headboard legs. It worked out fine but definitely shouldn’t have needed to do that. I was scared when I started putting everything together cause I thought it was going to be too smal but after I finished it was perfect for my queen bed, very easy to assemble. Easily assembled even by a single person as long as you know how to follow directions. It has accompanying pictures that were helpful in illustrating what the next step should look like. Remember to unscrew the middle screws and pull the bars apart to its maximum length. If you skip this step, you'll end up with a base that's 1-2" shorter than what you'll need for a queen bed. It came in a compact package which made it easy to haul into the bedroom. It's sturdy, had all its parts for assembly, and works just as it should. Along with having it delivered to your doorstep, It's unbeatable for its price! Great frame. Easy to put together and all the correct parts were included. I thought it was a little low to the ground, but after putting the box spring and pillow-top mattress on, I was happy the frame wasn't any higher. I have wood floors so I'm glad the legs have rubber padding. So I know it is just a bed frame, an item I've purchased and assembled at least 10 other times, but I have to say that for the money I paid, this bed frame blew past my expectations. First, the quality of the bed frame and assembly is very high. Leaps and bounds over all other metal bed frames I've assembled. Second, the thought put into this frame from the design to the very clear instructions, to the magnetic anti-slip pads that came with this frame had me wondering how much I had actually paid and to my surprise, this was no more then other far less quality frames.Great job Zinus and thank you. So so easy to put together. Crazy easy even with one person (getting the mattress on was way harder!). I almost didn't believe my queen would fit on here, but it does absolutely PERFECTLY. It is so sturdy, and there's enough room to store things underneath my bed. Love this product. Amazing for the price.Tip: put a fitted sheet over your box spring before you put the mattress over. Its a way easier way to hide the box spring and it looks so tidy if you choose a color that complements your other bedding! I noticed that my old bed frame was beginning to twist on the sides from the load of my 175 lb weight and as it was only a perimeter frame. After reading the reviews I grabbed this one. I am very glad I did. It was packed in a compact box but was heavy suggesting it would be up to the task. Assembly was a little confusing but not too bad. If you are handy and have a few spare 5mm tools (I like a socket head and ratchet) it will go together that much faster. The assembly is easier with two people. NOTE: I could see that the feet were just pegs and not wanting them to dig into our newer carpet I bought some 2x2 square furniture stands from Amazon as well, which work great. Overall this is a very sturdy frame at what I think is a very reasonable price.
