Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Update 10/19/2020 - Still the same bed from day 1. If I had a complaint, it would be that the mattress slides around quite a bit. I hit my toes a lot too. But that's just my own ignorance. I think I was the first reviewer. Maybe I got mine early enough in the production run that everything was still being treated with precision and care. Many reviewers of all sizes seem to have wildly varying opinions. Mine is a queen. It has seen its share of action, luckily about once a week on average, and it hasn't budged. One commenter accused me of receiving compensation for this review. Nope! All my money and my opinions. I originally bought it because we live in a small house with limited storage and this bed affords plenty of room underneath.Bed skirts don't fit worth a damn though, but I don't think it's meant to have one either. I also have a twin with headboard in my sons room. He's had his for 3 years (...I think?). It's sad to think that such a great product has take such a turn for the worse. Good luck to all ! Update, 8/20/2017- I always feel the need to update this as I receive responses to questions I've asked about similar models (specifically the 18" high version). Still rock solid and dead silent. Not sure what makes mine so special but it's true. I would definitely buy this one again. Update, 4/19/2017- We have had both memory foam and coil spring mattresses on this frame. It's been about 5 months and this thing is still super solid. It's almost unimaginable when you consider the ease of assembly. We sleep on every night, jump around on it when we play with our little dogs, and all the ...ahem... *other* stuff that you do in bed (mostly eat ice cream and watch Netflix). Not so much as a wobble or squeak, ever. I think I'm going to buy one in twin for my son. And for anyone who thinks these reviews are fake please know that mine is not! In no way am I affiliated with (or compensated by) this company, or Amazon. ----------- I have only had this a short time, but so far it is awesome. Super easy to put together. All you need by way of skills is the ability to count to 7, and the ability to swing a (provided) hammer. Granted, its a tight fit, but it should be. If you've ever been to a warehouse store where the racks and bins are large pieces of square tube steel, know that this frame is made of that stuff. Honestly, I was surprised at how strong and rigid this was once put together. This frame has no rock, sway, bounce, or squeak - especially when it counts. (wink, wink) My only complaint - if it counts is that - is that the legs are all the way out to the corner. This is a decorative frame, so they are meant to be that way to be seen. If you are coming from a more traditional bed frame, those tend to tuck the legs back away from passing toes. We have a skirt on ours to hide the under-stuff, so that doesn't help the toe situation any. Mine shipped well. No damage to the product, and very little damage to the box. I was able to move the box short distances by myself, but it's not advised. The total package is quite heavy. UPS had it marked as "team lift - over 70 lbs". Plan ahead - have help to carry the box up stairs or through tight spaces, or be prepared to take the contents elsewhere one piece at a time. That's not a huge task as the queen set only consists of 5 pieces of steel and 2 bundles of slats (and a free hammer). Also know that the slats are bound together with Velcro ribbons, so they will have to be carried in their 2 respective bundles. Oddly, the slats seem to be the majority of the weight here. The head and foot are different pieces. The head has slots for headboard hardware, but I'm not certain it will match up to every headboard our there. You may have to get creative should you want to mount a headboard to this frame. I'm guessing if you buy a headboard from Zinus, it will connect with no problems. You'll have to talk to Zinus about that. So far, I am beyond pleased. This frame has exceeded expectation, so far.
