ZINUS Joseph 6 inch Metal Platform Bed Frame, Mattress Foundation, Wood Slat Support, No Box Spring Needed, Sturdy Steel Structure, Queen

Happy with my purchase. Bought the 18" full size frame (on sale) for the under bed storage but I also liked the minimal modern design. As an apartment renter, I know I'll move at some point or another so didn't want a very heavy bulky frame, so also a pro that this disassembles and flat-packs easily.Initial impressions - impressed with box size and efficiency of packing. I was able to carry the ~47 lb box up one flight of stairs myself without much trouble. Assembly by myself was easy. Package has minimal padding, using some soft foam pieces (appreciated no styrofoam!) and each metal piece in a plastic sleeve. Many had broken through their plastic sleeves, but everything was in great condition/no scratches. It's one of the rare times where I thought a product could actually use a hair more packing material - but again, there was no damage.As I started to assemble, none of my pieces were labeled (except screws) but it was fairly easy to identify and follow the printed instructions. As another reviewer suggested, open the box lengthwise, assemble, then add screws (frame will hold basic shape), and do final tightening of screws for each step once all are in to ensure everything aligns. Unfortunately one bottom corner of the lengthwise side bars (piece "B") had a screw hole on the wrong side (outer instead of inner) which put a dampener on my set-up as I worried about overall quality control. Confirmed it was manufacturer error and not my own. However it seemed to hold just fine and was in the room corner (not getting on the bed on that side)... I macgyvered with some duct tape for now to ensure it stays in place and reached out to support. (More comments on this below).The rest of assembly went fast. About 50% of screw holes were super smooth and easy, the other 50% took a little time to get the screw to thread correctly but then went in fine once started. I found it best to start all by hand then tighten with the provided ratchet. Unlike IKEA assembly, the screws seem good quality and I had zero issue with any getting stripped - and think I'll be able to disassemble/reassemble as needed without issue. Some reviews mentioned that they were given extra screws - mine did not. The slats laid out fast and connect to the edges with velcro - I took the time to press down on the entire strip. I added the provided tiny rubber strips on frame edges to reduce mattress shifting, but held off on using the slat stickers (I rotate my mattress regularly so don't plan to use). Once I added my mattress, the slats (and Velcro) settled some as I laid down for the first few times, but no noise from the frame, and no issues with mattress shifting.After a couple weeks of use, I'm very happy. The frame and slats have no noise, seems strong, and I've had no issues with the mattress shifting. Only if I put a lot of weight into one spot will I occasionally get a tiny bit of noise from the Velcro - i.e. crawling across the bed - and not every time, never loud enough to bother me, or really notice unless listening for it, and it's been less and less as the Velcro connections tighten. I also find that this new frame gives more mattress support - I didn't realize my prior frame had a little too much give until now, thinking it was my mattress.Love the under bed storage capacity, especially for an apartment. The frame looks great even in a smaller room, despite the height.Regarding the piece with incorrect screw hole - I reached out to Zinus (as Amazon instructs for broken/missing pieces). Initially they said I'd have to speak to Amazon and return/replace because I was still in the return window. When I clarified that I just needed/wanted a replacement piece and wanted to otherwise keep my order, they escalated my request to upper support, and should be shipping the new piece soon. I'll update if any issues with this.

Fabuloso

A-MAZING.- Slotted together WAY faster than I thought. I'd set aside an entire DAY for something that took maybe half an hour. We spent longer re-arranging the room!!- The pieces were labelled with the step number, but they were NOT labelled with their part number, even though the instructions gave them one. This was easily solved by sitting down with some masking tape and a pen and labelling them myself. It felt a little bit like the instructions had been altered without altering the packaging for the parts yet, so maybe that will improve and I just had a transitional version of the item. LIke I said, sit down with some masking tape and a pen and label the parts your self, and it will be just fine. The little inventory diagrams even have red check marks that tell you where holes are on the part, which makes IDing them SO much easier during the inventorying stage of assembly!- This thing is VERY LIGHT and easy to move. My husband and I have moderately impaired mobility and we were able to lift and move this very easily. KEEP YOUR TOES CLEAR it's so easy to forget this is a BOX not something with legs. I set it down on my bare toe for a second and OUCH. Those corners are definitely 90 degrees!- It comes with extra parts that are LABELLED 'extra parts'! Amazing!- The bed slats are in two parts, making them easy to manipulate (and carry up the stairs), AND they VELCRO onto the bedframe! They also have nonskid stickers and additional nonskid parts to help the mattress not slid off! This thing is SO well designed!!!- THE RATCHET. You know how most put-together furniture comes with a dinky lil L-shaped allen wrench? That's not good enough for Zinus, no sir. They give you a dang RATCHET allen wrench. It's so FANCY. I love it. I kept mine, it's a 3/16" and it's AWESOME. I hope I need to use it for my IKEA furniture because RATCHET. Saved my hands a lot of pain.- THEY DON'T USE STYROFOAM. NO SQUEAKY NAILS-ON-CHALKBOARD NOISE AND NO MESS. My husband and I H A T E the sound and feel of styrofoam, and apparently someone in Zinus' shipping dept does too because they use the really nice stuff. I mean it we just... saved it, for crafting. It's really great stuff, very dense, very sturdy, very quiet.- They give you three (3) little notecards??? One is a thank you card and two say 'hello' on them. They come with an envelope that has a tiny Zinus logo and are in a little paper sleeve that has a thank you message from the company, that urges you to 'recycle' the cards (they have nothing in them so I hesitate to say they're recycled because to me they just seemed brand new??). It was super cute and the two 'hello' cards are a perfect gift for me since I just moved and have been needing a couple little cards to send as change of address cards.I super love this company! We started off buying their mattresses but now I am very excited. I'm not a brand loyal kind of person but I am definitely building my trust with this brand and will look first at their offerings when I'm in the market for this type of thing in future because I know the quality on offer. I wish they made loft beds!!

I have had this bedframe for over 3 years now and it is fantastic. Sturdy, low to the ground, comfortable, and adds just enough support where you can rest comfortably throughout the night. When I received it, it was super easy to put together and all the materials were conveniently labeled with easy to understand instructions. The parts included also were very nice quality. This is not a foldable bedframe, and though you could take it back apart I find the thinness of it due to short height makes it easy to store as is. Another perk, I love the anti slip pads that came with it. The mattress would stay in place overnight with even the most restless of sleepers, or during intimate time. Over time, the support boards did unfortunately develop a squeak to them with certain movements which is my only complaint.
