I'm reviewing the Queen-sized Zinus 18" Premium SmartBase. This took me less than 15 min. to set up, and only cuz i was taking pictures in between. It comes in two parts, folded in half. You basically unfold each almost twin-sized piece (similar to a flat conference tables with folded down legs), click in the safety hooks and tighten the wingnuts on each of the four corners. You then use the included two long screws and wingnut the two parts together to make the complete base-- no tools necessary.

This makes for a very tall bed, esp. if you have thick mattresses and a topper like we do. But, the glory of having an ample area to discreetly store supplies makes this SO WORTH IT. I was able to fit EIGHT 20-gallon storage containers that were 17 inches tall and almost 17 inches wide: [23 3/4"x 17" x 16 5/8" (60.3cm x 43cm x 42.2cm)] under this frame, and 18" bedskirts are available--i need to get one.

This frame feels very sturdy set-up, for being so lightweight, and has no squeaking- all the parts that touch the floor have plastic caps, so your wood floors should be fine. It feels great to be on the bed, and there is no movement. Best yet, I was able to throw out our old and unwieldy box spring, which was so hard to fit up our stairs during our last move. Yay, Zinus!

Okay - so I have been super busy reorganizing my room for like 2 days because I found this awesome bed frame!. Super easy to put together with just one person (even with a king size) and you can fit TWELVE FREAKIN 20 GALLON TUBS UNDER THERE!! That is crazy amounts of storage!!
Oh and i was trying to figure out where I was going to find an extra long bed skirt, when I realized that I could just use some folded over twin size sheets. ;) They are pinned down to frame.

I bought this in July 2016 and the frame doesn't squeak during relations, it squeaks getting in and out of bed... We are going out to buy plastic washers to see if that helps. UPDATE: the corner arms which are held in place by wingnuts just need to be tightened. Easy fix. Total weight sleeping on this frame is ~600lbs. We aren't distrubed by the 32" bed height being 5'10" and 6'4".

I am able to easily move the frame, with the only difficult part being adding the mattress ON the frame. Our 14" memory foam mattress is 100lbs and easily pushes around the light frame (14" Novafoam Costco). I haven't noticed any mattress or frame deformities. Having a heavy mattress really evens out weight distribution on the frame.

We fit 6, 18gal roughneck rubbermaid totes (H 16.5") and stacked 2, 10gal roughneck rubbermaid on top of each other under the frame. They easily slide under but it is close call! I was also able to fit my bike trainer and other misc. items under the frame.

We went out to purchase nice 14" drop bed skirt to hide the totes from plain sight (at BedBath&Beyond). I placed shelf liners on the bed skirt upside to make sure the mattress doesn't slide off the frame. No complaints there.

I agonized over this purchase a long time, and almost bought a 16" high from another brand because all my bins average 13.5" high, but the one feature important to me was a frame that remains quiet during movement, and as a 180lb 70" tossing and turning side sleeper, I didn't want to take a chance with a non Zinus since quiet is their claim to fame (if you know a metal working mechanic with a high RPM circular saw, you can always get the legs shortened). I ordered on a Sunday but they didn't ship till Thursday and it arrived the following Wednesday after crossing the country by FedEx which arrived intact with no frame damage. Assembly was simple, though I was disappointed Zinus does not include 4¢ worth of nylon or silicon bushings for the two long bolt and wingnut frame joiners, so I used my own.
I placed my expensive 30yo 8" feather+foam+spring mattress on top, made the bed and did a test lay down only to discover how much I felt the frame down the center even while on my back. if you are a back sleeper on a twin(1) queen(2) you may not notice since there is no center bar along your spin, but for back sleepers on a full - it's awful, especially if you are a side sleeper like me. remember this is an 18" frame, so it's no like many will be using 12" thick mattresses here. fortunately I had a 4'x6' hard rubber mat to spare from my home gym flooring, so I unrolled it on the frame, placed the mattress on top, made the bed, and poof like magic this frame was usable as something you could actually fall asleep on.
zinus only sells thin no slip mats, not semi rigid bucky boards, so buyers may not be aware of how badly they need one until they have this set up at home. I would have been upset had I now had to pay extra to secure a board, so I deduct a star for Zinus marketing these frames without any kind of guidance or options on how much they may be needed particularly on the full with that bar along your back.
photos are of Sterilite 1888 or 1988 bins and a typical folding chair for height scale. BTW the 2 channels for bins seem to have 31"x16.5" clearance (diagonal braces lean outward so they don't interfere) thus I was able to fully occupy the space using 37gal rubbermaid roughneck totes without their lids, while HDX 27gal totes fit the width with their lids but leave a 2" gap above - be advised when using these larger totes you want the Queen size frame to accommodate 2x3 as the Full will leave the bins sticking out on one side by a few inches.

I purchased this bed frame on June 10th. Shipping was fast and set up was so easy! The height is wonderful. But, I have spent the last month trying to contact customer service to report that the bed literally COLLAPSED WHILE MY 12 YEAR OLD WAS SLEEPING! The welds broke on the for of the bed! When I call customer service, it rings and puts me in hold. They I get the option to leave a message. I have multiple times and nothing! No way should I purchase a bedframe that lasts barely 90 days! I would not recommend!
