At first, the bed was perfect! However, after a few months, the bed starting making terrible metallic pinging and creaking noises. Any light motion, such as rolling over on the bed, caused the noise to appear. The manufacturer has not been responsive and has not offered a replacement or refund.
Fantastic product -- as others have noted, it is very well built and high-quality. No creaks or squeaks whatsoever, and the slats are thick and sturdy. If anything changes I'll come back and change this review, but for now, be assured that this is awesome.
A few things to note:
1) Box is EXTREMELY heavy and actually quite large as well -- which makes sense, as the long sides of the bed are all single pieces of steel. Thus a queensized bed comes in a box >80" long (as there's extra room in there for packaging materials). This may make it difficult to squeeze around corners so plan ahead.
2) Packaging is excellent -- 2 layers of cardboard boxing plus additional pieces of padding, wrapping and cardboard to separate the sections. I suspect people who got damaged products either had a UPS failure or, more likely, dumped all the pieces out at once and allowed them to smash against each other. Just cut the boxes open and take the pieces out one by one and you'll be fine.
3) Assembly is very straightforward and very well explained. I did it by myself in ~1 hr, and I was watching netflix the whole time. It's easier than Legos. Everything is illustrated and the pieces are even labeled for convenience. Tools are included and so are bolts -- of which there are only two very easily distinguishable types, so there's zero chance for a mixup. Seriously, all those reviewers complaining about middle pieces being too short have just totally failed at following extremely simple picture instructions and/or hammered it together without bothering to even look at the diagrams.
4) Did I mention the box was heavy? Seriously, it's heavy. So heavy. So, so, so heavy. Get some friends to help.
I included some pics of the assembly process... note that even the headboard comes in single pieces (i.e. two pieces for the sides, one for the bottom cross bar, three for the top crossbars). Please ignore the pathetic airbed in the pic. I'm still waiting for my real mattress :D
I have had it about a week and it is ok so far. I am 240 and my ex boyfriend is about 180 and we had sex on it and it didn't break (as shocked as I am). I wouldn't recommend the rough stuff though. I still fear the wooden slates will break. The one thing that I dislike the most, the height from the ground. I didn't realize nor read that it was that low and I am 6ft tall! Thank goodness I still have some youth in me. In a year or two, I will get a higher frame
Let's start off with the box, it was heavy and very beat up at the time I got received it. The box came UPS and it was absolutely torn apart and ripped in every which way. But, thankfully they had enough padding to protect it from any potential damage it could have taken during the shipping process.
Now, onto the product itself. The instructions were clear, although I think it would benefit them to label the bars with letters as well as numbers. It was fairly simple to put together and took only about an hour by myself. Not too bad.
The metal that's used is very sturdy, and is definitely not cheap. I've been using this with my 12inch Loom&Leaf mattress which is about 100ish pounds, and about 250 with me on top of it and it has held up nicely. I'm sure it could easily support another 3 to 400 pounds without it feeling like it's going to bend or fall apart in some way.
Overall, great product! It's sleek and has a nice modern design to it that I love. Who needs a boxspring anyways? Get it!
They do have a 5 year warranty and a good return policy. So definitely check it out.
Purchased Zinus Bedframe from POSH and they sent me the wrong model, a cheaper model without telling me. I am disabled had to pay for someone to assemble and only noticed that POSH sent the wrong model after assembly. POSH has thus far refused to rectify this issue, POSH had failed to take responsibility with respect to this issue, and POSH has caused me considerable stress, Inconvenience, and POSH has caused me to incur a significant financial burden. Stay away from Zinus products and POSH!!!!!!!
The EASIEST and most well-built bed frame. My mom and I put this together in under 15 minutes....total! That includes unpacking and carrying it upstairs. Usually, holes don't line up or multiple tools are needed. One tool (included) did the trick and everything is numbered beautifully. It is SOLID metal! No worries about it falling apart. The slats have Velcro on them and sit on Velcro (on the frame) so they don't move around AND the slats have Velcro in 2 places on top to keep the mattress from sliding!
Many people have said that the center rail is "2 inches too short". Well, let me tell you that this is only true IF YOU DO NOT FOLLOW DIRECTIONS!! The center rail fits perfectly if you put the bed frame together correctly. If you do not, and install the two end legs INCORRECTLY, it will be too short. So, you can either follow directions and be very happy with the bed as we are, or "wing it" and spend your day trying to modify the bed so it works as a few reviewers have said. The choice is yours.
This is a solid bed frame that is completely as advertised. I put it together, CORRECTLY, in under 15 minutes, all by myself.
Very easy to assemble!!! I’m not good at putting things together but it was super easy. Seems very sturdy!
Can't ask for more in terms of looks, sturdiness and ease of assembly,
I assembled it myself in 30-40 mins
it's lightweight and all you can ask for, especially for that price!
it really exceeded my expectations
First of all. For the price of this frame the quality is impressive. Very very easy to assemble with its number stickers. Didn't even have to open the instruction manual. Also this company throws in a mini ratcheting Allen key, impressive little tool. Along with small Allen key that we all hate lol. I bought this on sale and paid just under $150 Canadian. I feel like I spent $500. Extremely pleased. Keep it up Zinus!
This brand (Zinus) has really great bed frames, this is the 2nd style I buy from them and both times I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to put together. The frame is super cute, we got a double/full for my son. The design is modern, sort of industrial looking. Good value for money. I would recommend.
Great frame. Ive had this frame for 6 months now and it doesnt squeak. It was extremely easy to build. Im a small fenale and completed it all by myself.
