ZINUS GOOD DESIGN Award Winner Justina Metal Mattress Foundation / 16 Inch Platform Bed / No Box Spring Needed, Twin

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.

Based on a little research and the review from the woman who assembled one alone while drinking wine, I purchased this bed frame. When it arrived, I made a margarita and got to work. It was easy to assemble. I love that everything snaps into place and there are no screws to keep track of or step on. The trickiest part was getting the cover on; but, flipped on its side, it wasn’t too challenging. The frame feels sturdy and strong.

I don't write reviews but I read em because it's helpful to me. So I figured I would like to help someone else. Yes 20 minutes no sweat. Sturdy. End result is pleasing. One thing put it together while the cover is around the parts do all u have to do is zip it over the finished product. ENJOY BECAUSE I AM :-)

Superb product!! I purchased the King size foundation together with the their mattress(it's amazingly comfortable!!) and it's been over a week since 3 of us (parent+toddler) having good quality sleep. I not only love the clean and modern design, but also the well-thought design avoiding all the nails/nuts/bolts and simple structural frames - this allows to have longer use life even with multiple movings without worrying about missing pieces. While this product performs great in supporting both vertical and lateral forces, it's also very easy to assemble- it only took me 10-minutes to fully assemble as a first user. I also like the option of not attaching legs as I prefer to have a lower bed. Definitely recommend their products!!!

I have a Tuft & Needle mattress, which I've just been using on the floor. It was easy to build on my own and comes with a rubber mallet. The bed sits high, which, as a tall person, is wonderful to get on and off of. The design looks like an old school box spring and supports the mattress just as well.One of the reasons I had put off buying a bed frame/foundation is because I was worried it would take up too much room in my otherwise small bedroom -- this foundation is precisely the size of the mattress, so it fits snugly into the corner of the room. I would definitely recommend.

We bought one full sized for our daughter and one king sized for us. Both went together so easily. We were so impressed. It looks nice and seems very sturdy. The grey cover and legs are attractive enough that I won't need to get a bedskirt. I'm very pleased with the purchase. If we have any trouble with it, I'll edit my review.

Can I say firstly that I LOVE the cool hammer they give you with it (LOL!).It arrived very fast, was very easy to put together and I followed a tip another reviewer gave: “put the frame on it’s side, THEN put the cover on!”. That made it almost effortless. It’s been about a week and is so far great, just what our mattress needed!The corner of the box did come damaged, BUT the bed inside was completely fine!So far no squeaking and is performing very nicely!PS...I also like the metal frame with the strong thick wooden legs. I plan to use the metal frame to my advantage by wrapping a favorite pattern fabric around the bottom (to change the grey looking fabric), and then securing it with strong “earth magnets” (also known as neodynium magnets).

It is quite easy to assemble, I did not need to use the mallet. One piece came broken (the metal cone used to guide one of the cross bars had broken it's weld) but it did not effect assembly. Placing the frame into the zippered slip cover is quite a chore. If I were to reassemble, I would build the frame inside the cover, rather than attempt to slip it over at the end. If you plan on placing the frame on a solid surface, I would suggest some leveling pads or felt on the bottom of the legs. The dowel screws are not inserted into the wooden legs properly (which you will notice when you screw them into the frame, or you can roll the leg on a solid surface and watch the screw "wobble") Without leveling pads or felt, it will put a lot of weight on the rim of the leg, and create a hard crease in laminate flooring.

I 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 again

Dont really have a picture but the pros are the shipping was really fast but the box had a bit of damage(nothing inside was damaged as it was packed nicely), it's really nice and simple to put together (as a single mother of 2under2 it took me about 20 minutes to snap it together), no tools required although it does come with like a rubber mallet i think it's called? very sturdy, heavy duty, it supports me and my two kiddos and even though it's considered low profile it sits at a perfect height for my 2 yr old daughter to climb in and out of bed with ease(I'm 5'9 and with a 10" mattress it comes to maybe mid thigh/just above the knee) and theres enough space underneath for storageThe cons are one end has started to have a squeak (almost a week after assembly) whenever weight is added, the middle support beams dont even reach the floor lol like maybe half an inch off, and on hardwood flooring it slides very easily.All in all it's a great platform bed and would recommend for the price.
