Review: Excellent bed! Super easy to assemble and thoughtfully packaged. - This is the third time I've purchased this exact bed (2 queens and 1 king). I am incredibly impressed by the ease of assembly; it truly takes less than an hour for one person to put together. The bed is shipped with all parts zipped neatly inside of the headboard. The instructions are very easy to follow, it comes with extra screws, and a handy ratcheting allen wrench for use. This bed is very sturdy and quiet -- no noise coming from restless sleepers! Also, having recently moved, I loved how easy it was to disassemble and reassemble -- you can simply loosen the bolts and can leave them right in the frame so they don't get misplaced. Reassembly is intuitive so it was no problem that I had tossed the instructions. Great price and great quality. I highly recommend this bed to anyone looking for an affordable, easy, and nice looking bed frame.
Review: Sturdy and beautiful bed, fast shipping, comprehensive directions, excellent customer service! - Not only is this bed of great quality, I could tell that the seller is phenomenal as well. Prior to purchasing this, I read through at least 40 of the reviews on here to see if I would regret it. It was significantly less expensive than I had imagined for a quality platform bed so I was apprehensive to waste money on a "cheap bed", but it was the style I envisioned for a long time and I really wanted it to be quality. Spoiler* It totally exceeded my expectations!* A few reviews mentioned that it was heavy, but I felt I would be more concerned if it was not heavy- I imagine that durable parts are going to be heavy and if you're ordering a bed that you want to stay together and bear the weight of a good mattress and 1-3 people, you should be prepared for a heavy package. My package was heavy, I was relieved. A few reviews also mentioned that it was hard to put together and that the directions were less than comprehensive, sometimes non existent, as well as some of the necessary parts. I did notice that a lot of those reviews were old, so I was hoping that meant that the seller had since improved- and they certainly did. I am 5'5" and 130lbs, I put this bed together entirely on my own in under 1.5 hours. The directions were well written and included photos. As far as parts and pieces, there were only 8 screws total that need to be inserted and they provide you the allen wrench to do that with. (They also provide a small spare parts section of all the size screws in case you lose one- awesome!) A few reviews mention that they were confused and thought they only received the headboard and it took them a bit to realize the parts were inside. I think the seller has since improved that as well because when I opened mine, there was a big exciting "here we go! parts are all inside!" sticker right next to the zipper that opened the headboard so I had no question about what to do next. The zipper was actually a really neat unexpected surprise to me as well, as I had imagined that the headboard was hollow and open at the bottom part, where I would find the parts, but actually they were neatly zipped into the back. That also allowed me to store the directions and spare pieces they gave me right back in the headboard, unseen and not lost, in case I need to take the bed apart in the future to move. My only con is that I personally thought the headboard would be larger and you'd see more of it as I was really looking forward to the diamond stitch and this color gray (and was impatiently awaiting it's arrival to start planning what nightstands would match). However, I think this is my own fault because I am using my own pillowtop mattress which is probably taller than most mattresses that Zinus sells for this bed, so by the time I made the bed and put pillows on, there wasn't much headboard left to see. Still worth it! Lastly, my package included a note from the seller which I thought was just the coolest and cutest thing ever! They personally thanked me for my purchase, mention that they read all reviews and make improvements as suggested, and even provided a blank "thinking of you" and "thank you" card that they encouraged me to send to a loved one just because- how thoughtful! As stated above, reading the reviews first and then receiving my package with improvements to things that customers had complained about, I whole heartedly believe that they are a customer service oriented company and aim to continuously make their product better and have succeeded in doing so. I am so happy with my purchase and would recommend to anyone! Thank you for my beautiful and quality bed and thank you for listening to your customers, Zinus!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is it squeaky when doing 'activities' on it?**
A: The only thing “squeaky” during “activities” is my wife.

**Q: Is there a gap in the middle between two slats? Is that gap more than three inches?**
A: Yes and yes. The gap between all slats is slightly bigger than 3 inches. The middle gap is larger 6 inches. Regardless holds bed and my fat ass up.

**Q: How many inches are there from the floor to the bottom of the side rail? (i.e., What height of a drawer can I put underneath the bed?)**
A: There is a 6.9" spacing of clearance under the bed frame.

**Q: How many inches of space between the slats?**
A: The previous responder is utterly wrong. The space is approximately 3" between each slat, except for one larger whole in the middle that is about 5". It is nowhere near 4 and definitely not 4.7".

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great quality and attention to detail at a super reasonable price.
*by K***E on May 15, 2020*

I rarely wrote reviews because I'm rarely impressed enough to take the time. When I saw that the whole bed packed into the headboard, I thought: they pay attention to detail, this might be the right frame. Well, they do, and it is... First, it was double boxed so the frame was unharmed despite obvious mishandling in shipping. Kudos to the packaging. Second, the frame components in the headboard were all bagged in plastic, as was the styrofoam used to block out empty spaces so none of the foam got all over the upholstery. It all fit tightly enough to ship safely, but loosely enough to remove easily. Again, kudos on internal packaging. Third, I've never had a single piece of furniture ship with good tools. I always throw away the allen wrenches, screw drivers, and other crappy "tools" in the bag and go to my toolchest with all the bells and whistles. I was shocked to find a ratchet wrench IN THE BAG. Yes, they paid enough attention to detail to know that some of the bolts aren't easily turned in a full circle and that a ratchet would make (as it says) things much easier. Sure, I still used by screw gun and allen drivers because that is even easier and faster. But, WOW. That is customer care and attention to detail in a nutshell. Other notables... Steel (not aluminum) fasteners; same size bit for all fasteners; clear and easy to follow instructions; assembly took 15 minutes while writing this review on the fly; and it is surprisingly sturdy (because, steel) despite the light weight of the frame and the ease of assembly. Kudos to engineering and design! Zinus has earned a fan. Store is bookmarked, future furniture orders queued up! Can't say enough good things about it. Well done all around.
