I have ordered bed frames off line before and they are nothing compaired to this one. It is top notch. Do not dought this purchase. You will be happy.

I put together myself in about an hour. Follow the numbers- very straightforward. Bed is sturdy

---

bought this a year ago, easy to assemble, would recommend

---

Sturdy, clear directions for assembly (still took a couple hours), not my forte.

---

No squeaking or anything for me so far, it's set up on carpet so unsure if there is a difference on hard floors. Simple and easy to put together. Only downside is it was sUper heavy and I live on the second floor. I'm pretty strong but I still had to ask a neighbor for help because the box's weight wasn't evenly distributed.

3rd Update May 2, 2020
The bed is going strong. No issues. Solid and no squicking. However, my Casper mattress has become uncomfortable soft over a year and half. That has nothing to do with the Zenus bed. I am just sharing my experience.

Second Update 11/28/2019
The bed did start squicking. It appears that the bolts and frames overtime settle and do need rethighteng. I took off the mattress and tightened all nuts and bolts. The bed is now quite again.

First Update
This is an update to my original review. It has been 4 months since I bought the bed. It is still stable and no squick. It is as tight as a drum!

Installation
Easy to install. This is an example of attention to detail. The assembly joints are numbered; therfore; you connect matching numbers in the order of the numbers. You start with Connection #1 and you connect Point 1 with Point 1; so forth. It is that easy. I do not know why others did not think about this before. Fastneres are organized and labeled on the box so that you know which is which. Spare fasteners are indicated on the box as spares so that you don't have to scratch your head wondering where these left over fasteners supposed to go. A racheting tool is included to speed up assembling the pieces! Wow! The whole thing is engineered and organized very well.

Value
I bought this platform bed to support a foam mattress from Casper and it is much cheaper than buying the Casper foundation and frame. The Casper foundation alone costs $250. This one cost me $150 plus tax.

Quality
The platform is made of sturdy pieces and the assembled bed is stable with no movement or squicking what so ever. The main differentiator for me was the additional three legs that provide support at the middle. This platform had a total of 7 legs and you do not have to worry about sagging at the middle over time. Sagging, over time, was one of the complaints I read from reviews for other brand platforms. Rest assured this platform bed will not sagg.

Ergonomics and convenience
There is 11 and1/2 inch clearance under the bed that you can use to store things under the bed. The height from the floor to to the top of the plats is 13 and 1/2 inches. The platform height is optimum for me. With Casper mattress on top of the platform , the bed will be at the right height where my thighs are horizontal when I sit on the bed with my feet resting on the floor. It is easy and comfortable to put my socks on and tie my shoes while sitting on the bed. That is perfect! By the way, I am 5 ft-10 inches tall. Some platform beds are so low, you will be a kind of falling down when you try to sit on the them.

Possible improvement
As most of you now, people would like to personalize their bedrooms with their choice of colors and they want their bed board color match the rest of their furniture. It would be nice if the wood boards were packageed separately and they are offered with different color and stain options. Alternatively, leave the current package as is and simply sell the different color boards as personalization kits. Zinus should include different color and wood stain sample coupons with the platform bed package and let the buyers use the sample coupons to match with their furniture and order the correct personalization kit. That would have been great!

In summary, if you need a platform bed to support your new mattress, this is it!

Okay, reading my headline sounds as though Zinus paid me to review this bedframe, but I assure you, this is not the case. I've only had one interaction with Zinus in my entire life, and I'll share more of that later in the review.

To start, I'll say that I was looking for the perfect, affordable bedframe for about four months... Yes, you read that right; four months of nonstop, daily research - from text reviews, to videos, to DIY options, to store-browsing, etc., and I finally settled on the Zinus Epic Queen-size bedframe. So, why did I choose this one? Simple; the good reviews, the style and the price! This bed seemed like a win-win-win, and who was I to deny myself victory?

I placed my order and waited patiently for it to arrive. It must be noted that I shipped this bedframe to Miami, and then overseas to the Caribbean, and crossed my fingers, hoping it would survive the trip. Well, finger-crossing seems to work, because it didn't have a dent or scratch when it got here - the packaging was perfect!

It's heavy, and generally you may need two people to maneuver this baby, but if you're a strong, burly man like myself, you'll be just fine moving it on your own (lift with your knees people!).

Unpacking all of the items revealed the best set of instructions I've ever seen on any product (I'm not kidding, making pancakes is harder), and it was a breeze to assemble. It also came with all the right tools to get the job done, not just right, but quickly! More and more, I became not only a fan of this bedframe, but of Zinus.

Until... Well, while assembling it with my girlfriend, we noticed something - it was short of two Small (S) screws, and we decided to use the Medium (M) screws to secure the small legs to their bracket on the frame. In doing so, we overtightened the screws and split the small legs (just a bit). It's a very small split in the wood, and the legs are still very usable. But, I feared the worse and knew that would greatly shorten the lifespan of those legs. My worst fear is having them break while lying on the bed.

Anyway, we finished assembling the bedframe, put the mattress on it and tested it out (wink wink)... Not only is it well-built and durable, but it looks absolutely gorgeous, with those blue metal accents. We've been using this bedframe for about two months now, and it has held up quite well.

Now, this is where Zinus and I meet... After I registered my bedframe on their website, I contacted support to see what they can do about the fmall feet that I split. Well, they responded promptly (within the same day), and without any questions asked, offered to ship me two small screws and the two small replacement legs that I split. The only thing they requested from me was a photo of the damaged legs, which I supplied forthright. Apart from making and selling a great product, their customer support is A1!

I do not work for Zinus and am not affiliated with them, in any way. I'm just a regular guy like you, who happens to like nice things on a small budget, and I'm very pleased with my purchase. My girlfriend is too (wink wink).

I bought this about a year ago and figured a year is a good point to give it an honest review. It's a great bed. It's easy to put together and it's very sturdy. It doesn't make any noise, if you know what I mean. The slats are held in place with velcro and theres double sided tape on some of the slats to keep your mattress from sliding. I definitely recommend this bed and I'll be trying out more ZINUS products in the future.

Bought this in twin size for my nephew’s new dorm room. He said its so easy it took him less than half hour to built. The bed is sturdy and the Zinus mattress he got with this works perfectly. There’s room for storing things under bed too, a big plus for small space.

We just got it delivered today I will update once its been used for a while but my initial review is of putting it together. It took me 25 minutes to put it together I did most of it by myself I only needed my husbands help to attach the headboard. I left 4 stars because I think that the slats are a bit short for the bed, if it were for an adult or one of my teenagers I would worry but it is being used by my very petite 9 year old daughter so im not overly concered. I sat on it with my daughter to read her a bedtime story and it seems pretty sturdy. My daughter is very happy with it, her last bedframe was low and she is happy to be off the ground.

---

Took a while to unpack everything but once I got myself organized it all came together nicely.
