Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

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.
