We could not be more impressed with this bed frame! From the packaging (cardboard around an inner cardboard/styrofoam cushion) to the final product, this company has thoughtfully put together this frame's components, all with the customer in mind.

The fasteners are high quality. There are no fragile screws or nails in this frame — instead, strong bolts (with washers) easily slide through the designated holes and fasten into metal threads already sunk into sturdy wood. You get the standard hex wrench for assembly, and (bonus!) you also get a hex ratchet for those hard-to-maneuver corners. The hardware kit also comes with clearly labeled spare parts.

All the pieces are labeled well to correspond to well-written instructions. The steps of the instructions are clear, and a QR code is provided to allow you to watch a video of the instructions if you want.

The side rails feature both velcro and wooden dowels so to hold the cross-slats in position. As a result, the bed is silent when you move around on the mattress. Also, two of the cross-slats have non-slip tape on them to help keep the mattress in place. The slats span the full width of the bed frame (as opposed to some bed frames that require two shorter slats to meet up in the middle). There is a middle support beam running from top to bottom that's made of metal (painted to roughly match the color of the wood), so the slats and mattress are supported. And that beam has some kind of liner on the top of it where the slats rest. Our guess is it's rubber or some kind of hard foam. It keeps the wood slats from clanging against the metal.

Assembly was easy. With two of us, it took about 30 to 45 minutes. Having two people is nice because the frame is a little heavy and awkward when it's all boxed together. Also, it was nice for one of us to hold up the long side rails while the other person screwed in the bolts. But I bet it could be done with one person if you wanted to go for it.

As for the final product, it's amazing. As mentioned previously, it's silent — no odd creaks. The color is as advertised. While I imagine this bed frame would be too low for some people's tastes, the height is perfect for us. (We have dogs who appreciate not having to jump too high off the ground to lounge on the bed.) And the height, plus all other dimensions, are exactly as advertised.

I've tried to add pictures to demonstrate everything that makes this bed frame great. The one awesome thing not pictured is the price — it's a fantastic product for a fantastic price!

Very happy with purchase -- after looking at many options. Bed was carefully packaged so all the pieces were in perfect condition. The wood grain (espresso) is beautiful .. design is very sturdy .. No hardware shows on the outside of the frame, but still the hardware & the tools to assemble are good quality. Instructions were easy to follow (and even a heavy duty zip bag to keep the extra pieces in.) My son & 10 year old grandson put it together in about 30 minutes and they aren't particularly handy! The slats are also good quality with a smooth surface. We'll see how it holds up but so far so good!

I was very hesitant to order this bed, for a lot of reasons. Some of which are that these "assemble yourself" furniture things have, in the past (NOT Zinus), have been very difficult to assemble. Things like missing parts, missing instructions (!) (you name it). Gave me a definite pause.

Add all of this to the fact that I am female, and (how to put this?) "older", and don't have a lot of experience with assembling things (i.e., mostly poor experiences, as mentioned above) and that a purchase of this bed would make it THE most expensive single item I have ever purchased on Amazon - me, an Amazon customer of 20+ years standing - just about made me decide to give this bed a pass.

Boy, am I glad I read the reviews (more than 20,000 at this writing). Reading the reviews, and looking at the rating, made me decide to give this a chance.

The bed arrived in about three days on my front porch. As expected (I had read that the box weighed about 85 pounds - no exaggeration here!) I could not lift the box to carry it inside (it was just too heavy for me) so I laid it flat on my front porch (it had arrived standing upright) and opened it there.

The contents was EXTREMELY well packaged - it was a smaller box within the large box. The smaller box contained all of the parts - large and small styrofoam blocks everywhere, everything was welll-cushioned, thus un-blemished.

The small parts (fasteners, screws and such) were shrink-wrapped onto sections on a piece of cardboard, with each section labeled with the corresponding part number to the directions - as an added bonus, there was also a section labeled "spare parts", with a few extras of each. I REALLY appreciated this thoughtfulness on the part of Zinus, as this guaranteed that I would have all of the parts required.

The instructions were simple - mostly all graphic images (pictures) of the step-by-step assembly.

The reason that the instructions were so simple is that this bed is incredibly well engineered - the design has really been carefully planned and carefully thought out. Because of this, the parts and assembly pictures exactly matched all of the actual parts.

Not too much guess work here - I had one or two missteps at the beginning, only due to me inexperience in putting together such things. After more thinking, looking at what I had done and comparing it to the instruction, I saw my error, disassembled this first step, and it was smooth sailing from then on.

It took me about an hour and fifteen minutes to put this bed together, only because I had to spend a few minutes at each assembly step staring at the instructions in order to understand if I was doing things correctly. Aside from the first step, I was.

If I had this to do over again (or if I had been a person with experience in such things) I'm guessing that I could have put this bed together in a half hour, tops.

And I LOVE LOVE LOVE this bed! It is beautiful, exactly what I was hoping for (I purchased the one with the headboard), although expensive (for me) it is a quality item and totally worth the price. I know I will enjoy this bed for many, many years to come.

So, if you are contemplating getting this bed, even if you are "older" and even if you have no experience in do-it-yourself furniture assembly, I would say GO FOR IT! When it comes, don't be in a rush, study the instructions, only open the shrink wrapped parts sections as you need them (and be sure to put the parts in a dish or a pan or something so that they don't roll under your chest of drawers and disappear!), take your time - and soon you will have a beautiful new bed.

The only thing I would say to Zinus is that the photos on the page for the bed were poor quality (the photos, NOT the bed), blurry and out-of-focus. This almost stopped me from buying the bed right there and then - so, Zinus: better photos, more bed sales!

Thanks for reading, everyone!! :-)

We own this bed frame in a a queen as well. Bought a twin size for our sons room because we love it so much! It's very sturdy, easy to assemble! Can be assembled by one person. Comes in a decently heavy box. I love that this bed shows a nice wood grain when assembled. Looks & feels like better quality than the price paid. We love these beds!

I purchased three of these bedframes when we moved into our current home - one full and two twins for the guest bedroom. They look good and are easy to move to clean underneath. I use them with just a quality foam mattress and no box spring.

The deluxe version is worth the extra money. The bed came very well packaged; even the foam inserts were sealed in plastic so they did not make a mess. The bed took me about 20 minutes to assemble by myself. The included tool made installation go quicker. I am surprised at how effective the non-slip strips are as my mattress does not move on the foundation without quite a bit of effort. It is sturdy and does not make any noise when we move around. I would recommend this bed.

I've had this bedframe for 2 years now and it's holding up very well. It was easy to assemble and disassemble for a move. I fit 6+ long/shallow plastic storage containers from Walmart. The wood colour is as pictured and the design fits a variety of interior styles.

Fantastic quality and very sturdy! I’ve had some great sleeps on this bed!
