Customer review: “I didn’t have the highest of hopes for ordering a bed frame off of Amazon at this price point, but I was very pleasantly surprised! This is a good quality and sturdy bed frame. It is a beautiful color and [it’s] the perfect accent to a room that needs something more than a neutral. It took about an hour to assemble.

Customer review: “Perfectly packaged. I put this together myself (I’m a 36-year-old woman), and it took me about two hours. The directions are easy to follow. Every single piece is solid wood. No scratches. The bed is incredibly sturdy. Not a single shake or movement of the bed, even if I try to wiggle it. I have a 120-pound 10" memory foam mattress on it…. Happy with my purchase.

Customer review: “Out of everything I bought for my new apartment, this is probably the single purchase I am happiest about. $200 for a king size platform bed, including shipping. Great! The thing is solid like a rock... And I’m just going to say it because it needs to be said: No squeaky noises when you’re trying to make a muffin in the oven. The bed has a soft touch all around which I wanted and love. If it looks like the headboard curves in the picture, it doesn’t—it’s flat. The only thing that could be improved is the headboard is a bit low. When you lay a single pillow on it there isn’t that much room above, it would be nice if the headboard were a few inches taller... But, hey, what do you expect for the cheapest freaking bed available. This thing is amazing. Super happy!” —John, reviewer on Amazon

Customer review: “Sturdy frame. Easy to assemble. Trundle assembly directions did not come in the box, but found them on the website. Trundle holds a twin mattress, and can be placed on either side of the bed. I like the fact that you can’t see the mattress or what’s under the bed because of the solid footboard.” —Larisa, reviewer on Wayfair

Customer review: “Absolutely love this bed. I purchased it about seven months ago and have been so happy with it. It’s a piece of furniture that you can feel good about investing in due to its quality, durability, and a timeless and versatile aesthetic. In my California modern home it’s a simple piece that speaks for itself, and looks great with my beige linen duvet. But in a few years when I’m ready for a refresh, this bed will easily translate well into a new design story. Amazing product, great customer support. Delivery and set up was amazing! It’s worth the price, and is something that will last a lifetime!” —Gabraelle, reviewer on CB2

Customer review: “The packing of the Zinus bed was excellent. Everything fit in the back of the headboard, and was well packed and padded. The instructions to put the bed together were well written and easy to follow. It took about an hour to assemble it. The ratchet tool was also a nice bonus which helped speed up the assembly, and allowed you to get into tighter areas and still tighten the bolts easily. It is an attractive bed that doesn’t overpower your bedroom; it will compliment your other bedroom furniture very well. I can’t say enough about its construction. It is a sturdy, well-built bed that I believe will last us many years.” —Dave, reviewer on Zinus
