ZINUS Paul Metal and Bamboo Platform Bed Frame, Wood Slat Support, No Box Spring Needed, Easy Assembly, Twin

Great bed! Attractive, sturdy, easy to assemble. The little ratchet tool works wonders. No squeaks or shakes when moving around in bed.

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).

Good solid construction. All tools included for assembly, even a small ratchet wrench! Took about an hour to assemble. Will probably order another. Only downside is the box was quite heavy and large. Make it easy on yourself and remove contents a couple at a time to the location you want to assemble. Don’t panic if the outer box appears torn. The parts are double wrapped and padded.

I was looking for the best combo of 1) affordable 2) cute and 3) not being made completely of metal, bed frame and settled on this one. I’ve had it for a few months now, and have to say I love it!! I was worried about any metal components squeaking—this bed hasn’t squeaked at all. The headboard and footboard are beautiful, and it was so easy to put together (did it myself). This frame seems very solid considering how light it is overall. Highly recommend. Oh and you’ll notice some of the slats have a strip of sticky tape on them to help hold your mattress on the frame, because there’s no “lip” on the frame to hold the mattress in. But I haven’t even used that, I just kept the cover on the tape strips (you’ll know what I mean when you see it), because the cover on my mattress already has little rubber bumps all over the bottom for grip and that’s been fine. Highly recommend this frame overall.

This is a great bed frame for the price and it is probably the easiest assembly for a piece of furniture I’ve ever put together. I did not need a second person to help with any of it except getting the box in the door. All tools for assembly are included, and they throw in a few extra screws, just in case. The instructions are super simple and the ratchet tool included makes tightening the screws as easy as it could be, no matter what your level of strength. But because of that, I need to warn that it is also easy to strip the screws. I imagine if I have to take this apart that I will have some problems. Also the ratchet sometimes gets stuck in the hole and it takes a little muscle to get it out.Overall, this is a super sturdy bed — no movement or squeaking. And it looks pretty nice too. The slats are strong and sufficient. If you are looking for a more pliable set, you could upgrade the slats with a better quality set, but for now I’m happy with them. The bed arrived two days late, but I can’t blame the bed or manufacturer since it was an Amazon fulfillment issue. Lately I’ve learned that your promised delivery date is not a sure thing! So if you are counting on the bed for some sudden out-of-town guests, they might be sleeping on the floor!
