ZINUS GOOD DESIGN Award Winning Justina 16 Inch Metal Platform Bed Frame - Full Size, Beige, No Box Spring Needed - Perfect for Modern Bedrooms & Guest Rooms

I ordered this because it looked and claimed to be easy to assemble. I live alone on the third floor of a big apartment complex, the kind where humans live in their little cubby holes in a row of cubbies. I wanted to eliminate the hauling I'd have to do as much as possible, and was delighted to find some poor UPS guy had delivered the 7 ft long box directly to my door. I was doubly-delighted because I was already a bottle of wine in that evening and I'm one of those cursed with the propensity to break things, sober or not.There are pictures of 2 men lifting all over the box, clearly indicating what was expected to do the job, so of course I grabbed the box and wrestled it into my apartment all by mahself, because #feminism or whatever.I should preface the remainder of this review by explaining that I may be all of 5'4" on a good day, but I'm also a competitive bodybuilder, so I can lift things and stuff, but once the bed was indoors, things got easier. So if you're all of 5'4" and not a bodybuilder, that first part may be hard, but I believe in you.The instructions were only two pages, but I wasn't upset. I mean, lately I've seen the furniture directions where the paper is one page with 100 different pieces depicted, with all the arrows pointing to them all going together, so the instructions are literally just, "Take all the parts and put them together, then done." Those make me want to hurt someone.But these instructions made all the sense. You take the big pieces, hook them into each other, and then you already have the base done, boom. They even supply a super cute little rubber mallet to make the process easier. Of course, I didn't see that until I had man-handled all the pieces into place and was sweating out all the wine.Then you drop the slats into place, easy peasy.But then, this slip cover.... Look, my one complaint is that it came with a tag that explained which way was forward, top, etc. on the slip cover, but the thing had fallen off and was sitting sadly in my hand while I stared blankly at the slip cover, not knowing which was was up, down, or sideways.So I had another sip (swig, chug...) of wine and began wrestling that damn thing on.Now I know from experience and can warn you that if the slipcover fitting feels impossible and makes you curse the fact that society thinks that mattresses on floors is unacceptable for functioning adults, you are probably putting it on wrong. I wrestled with it in 3 different directions until the last time, it finally seemed to fit right into place, and I realized I had it right finally.Hint: The zipper zips on top. Yeah, didn't realize that the first 2 times.The legs go on way easier than expected, right through pre-cut holes in the slip cover.And then BAM. I was suddenly an adult again and no longer sleeping on the floor.So if you're wondering if this will be as easy as it claims and work for you, the answer is probably yes. I might recommend the wine to go with the experience. Particularly, a good cabernet will help get the job done.Men not required.The product is exactly as it says in the description. I put the frame together all by myself, with no help. We did opt to remove the legs because with our 14” mattress, it was much taller than we’re used to. It did look really nice with the legs and if we had a thinner mattress might have kept them on. Highly recommend this bed frame!My husband assembled this by himself really easily. He was super happy with it and the fact it came with a mallet. It has held up well and supports our mattress well.Exactly what I was looking for. Simple, affordable, easy to put together, looks great. Very happy with this purchase.Still working as expected - no creaks, very sturdy. It was very easy to assemble and looks great in the bedroom. I was looking for no headboard frame that wasn’t metal and this was the perfect choice for my price point. Will buy another for our guest room.Easy to put together. With 2 people it took 10 min total. Very straightforward instructions. 85 lbs nectar king mattress on top. Very stable. I would definitely recommend getting the furniture pads to put under the 9 legs to not scratch the floor.Basic, but just what I neededI bought this for my parents to use at the cottage. They had never seen this type of box spring. When I got a call from them I thought, as usually they would complain. My father could not stop raving about how easy this was to put together, and what good quality. He wants to get rid of the ones he has at home now and replace them with these. Honestly he complains about almost everything, I was shocked at how impressed he was with this.I am an impatient soul who detests struggling with putting together furniture, and this bedframe was a breath of fresh air. Super simple to put together, VERY sturdy, looks good, and has an excellent amount of even support with the extra feet in the middle of the frame. Also, it's very easy to take apart later with minimal swearing which is important to me as I move a lot.There are pictures of two people moving the box displayed on the side, because unless you're used to safely hauling around super heavy and awkwardly shaped items like I am, you'll probably hurt yourself.The quality of bed frame was not bad but inside the box there was a wrong sized cover. In fact I bought king size bed frame and cover was queen size. If everything was fine you are lucky but if something was wrong with the product you are in trouble because Zinus customer service do not pay attention to you anymore. I said them just change cover and send me the right size cover because I have a backache and my physician forbids me to carry heavy things but they just answered me you bought from amazon and you can return it to the amazon. By the way I hire a man to carry it for me to return it to the amazon. When you want to buy a product from Zinus company be aware that they do not help you anymore if something is wrong with their products.I haven't found anything that i don't like so far.... it was so easy to put together.....from out of the box to complete it took me maybe 15 minutes..... snapped together so easy i was amazed....i was like this needs to be harder i almost didn't believe i had done it right.. the hardest part was putting the cover over it..... but that was mostly my fault not the bed...but its been a week now and i am loving it even more..... sleeping amazing and it is the perfect height with my mattress on it..... would defiantly buy from this company againI’ve used box springs and those metal torture device rails since the, well, for a loooong time. I took a chance on something that was different but seemed technically and morally superior. Seriously, buy this thing. No stupid angles, no barked shins, fits my foam mattress like an actual engineer took time to design something they would actually use in their own bedroom. Haven’t had it long enough to see how it holds up or how hard it is to move but it’s ok because I may never leave my bed again.
