Zinus Wen Wood Platform Bed Frame/Solid Wood Foundation/Wood Slat Support/No Box Spring Needed/Easy Assembly, Full

DURING ASSEMBLY, it is very important that you do not fully tighten the screws in each corner one by one! First, line everything up and lightly screw in all four corners, and then go back and tighten them. If you don't do it this way, you will have a lot of trouble getting the four corners to line up together. I'm sure this is probably common knowledge for most people with furniture building experience, but it wasn't noted in the instructions and I was a bit scared that I was sent a frame with faulty holes. You will likely need someone to hold up the pieces while you're doing this part. Other than that, this bed frame is very sturdy and simple to assemble. Its perfectly compatible with my full-sized ZINUS green tea mattress. I've had it set up for over a month now and haven't noticed any squeakiness (it is used rarely though). The package it comes in isn't too heavy and the box is easy to move around; one person could even move it on their own if they're comfortable carrying around 45lbs. My package did not contain any missing parts, and the frame itself was in good condition other than a few discolored spots on the slats (they didn't have any odor, so I don't think they were mildew). My only complaint about the frame is that the "Natural" color is a bit more red than the image, but it ended up matching my room anyways. Overall, I recommend this bed frame for being easy to assemble and well-packaged.

I have been using this queen sized frame for 3 weeks now and must say that I am pleasantly surprised by it and would have no reservations recommending it to others. I was looking for a solid wooden slat frame for my soon to arrive bed in a box. I confess that some of the previous reviews for this product made me think twice before ordering, but I certainly am glad I did. The box arrived quickly through prime. Although there was a fair amount of damage to the one corner of the box which revealed the packing under it, the frame itself remained unscathed. Several other reviewers had similar experiences so I can only conclude that packing is sufficient enough to prevent anything serious from happening. The box is extremely heavy so I can understand why the damage occurs. (I felt rather bad for the delivery man). The box is roughly 90 pounds so make sure you either have help moving it or are willing to move it piece by piece to prevent injury. The product is well wrapped and everything you need to assemble it is included. All of the pieces were the correct length. (That was something I was concerned about after reading reviews. Some people had issues with the legs being different lengths so I checked them all before constructing the frame). Several reviews also stated that the instructions were rather vague. As long as you can read illustrations and know how the pieces are labeled, you should be fine. The only thing that seemed vague to me was the bar which goes from head to foot in the middle of the bed. One side of it had a black velvet strip running the length of it. That side faces up so when the slats are laid upon it, it prevents noise and movement. I put the frame together by myself and it took around ten minutes. The trick is not to tighten any screws until the entire frame is constructed. All the pre-drilled holes matched up well except the ones on the crossbar (which is the last piece installed). The holes for the crossbar were slightly off, not enough to make it an issue, but enough that I had to "pull" the bar a bit to line it up for the screws. Even before I had all the screws tightened, the frame was solid. The slats were the biggest concern for me as everyone had a different opinion on them. No one seemed to agree on the thickness, distance between, durability, etc. Here's my take on them (pic included). The slats were uniform. Slats are just under 3 inches in width with 2.5 inch spacing between each. They came in two bundles. One end slat from each bundle had holes drilled into it which lined up with pegs on the frame so there was no mistaking how to place the slats on the frame and the ends are secure. Velcro strips adhered on both ends of the slats hold the slats together and sync up with Velcro on the frame. This made it easy to lay them down as it kept them uniform in distance, flush to the frame, and prevented slippage/movement. There are two slats which have white stickers on them. Removing the stickers is supposed to make the two slats adhere to the bottom of the mattress. I decided not to remove the stickers as I rotate my mattress. My mattress is 89 pounds and I have not had it move on the slats unless I purposely move it. The frame is very sturdy. The queen size has 9 evenly spaced legs to support the weight of a mattress. I like the 2.5 inch spacing between the slats. I know many bed companies state up to 4 inches is acceptable, but I feel better with the 2.5 for warranty purposes and hope that it will make the frame more durable through the years. I know that the space beneath the bed is about 8 inches for me. I have no issues sliding my storage bins under which is a plus! (Just have to be aware that 3 support legs break up the space underneath). An added bonus is having my feet flat on the floor when I sit on the edge of the mattress. Great height for getting in and out of bed without struggling! For the price, you can't go wrong.

Totally love the sturdiness, quality and feel of this bed platform. The height is perfect and equal the height of a box spring with frame. Totally compatible with our mattress. Easy to put together. Did it all myself with no problems.

I am writing about the Zinus 14" Wood platform bed with a 10" Puffy mattress, it is at a great height for me. I rarely write reviews but I was pleasantly surprised with this bed. It is what it is a VERY simple bed with no head board BUT for what it is I was pretty well satisfied with the product. The wood is highly finished/polished in natural toned ( it looks like Scandinavian Birch, very simple and pleasing) , excellent job on what appears to be a hard polyurethane finish. It is machined "micro" finger joints with random length shorter boards for the edge boards and the middle support piece. with out close scrutiny the boards look like one piece of wood. The legs are also laminated but done so that they appear to be one solid piece. The legs are obviously digitally machined and done so very nicely. Assembly was very simple, although easy enough for me alone, some may want a helper to mount the end boards to the side ones, but two really are not needed. I am a wood worker and handy with tools and it took me about 20 minutes (while watching TV) to leisurely put it together. The directions are simple pictures and numbers. I bet a smart 10 year old would have no problem assembling. There are the four corner posts, with a third support on the long side rails, three posts on the center support for a total of 9 support pieces. There is a center board (with three support posts as described) where the cross pieces of plywood rest and support the mattress in the center. The cross support boards (that support the mattress) are two groups of about eight 1/2 inch x 3" plywood (nice tight multi layered ply) tacked to velcro strips on either end and unfold like a rope latter so not only are they evenly spaced they are laid out on the rails (well screwed to the side frame) and attach to a long velcro on the rails and thus will not slip. Very simple, well thought out bed. I paid $170 with free shipping and it was well worth it. I have a Puffy mattress and am 5'10 and weigh in now about 210. It easily handles my weight. I would suspect the bed could handle 2 200 pound people with relative ease with a good mattress. The bed does really appear just like the add. Again for what it is, a very simple bed, it is well designed, engineered and constructed with good solid components. If you like what you see in the picture you should really like this bed.

I love it and have purchased a different one before-the only thing O do not like is that in the pic it shows it sits slightly down in the frame. It doe not-it sits on top. it is sturdy and stable and very pretty. It came packaged very well, so nothing was damaged and all pieces were easily marked for assembly.

Wow ! I was surprised at how nice this bed frame is for the price. Five stars for delivery, packaging, quality, and assemvly. The directions to assemble are very easy to follow - I assembled it by self with no problem. They even include spare parts ( hardware) and an allen wrench and ratchet for later tightening . I am the type of person to read a lot of reviews before I purchase - so wanted to pay it forward. I highly recommend this product.

FUNCTION & LOOK: Five stars, very nice. Looks classy. Nice, genuine wood. No complaints so far! Found this thanks to a Wirecutter rec. Overall, fantastic for the price (compared to similar quality & more expensive frames). ASSEMBLY: Got this about a week ago and so far love it. I put it together myself [what? a woman!? BY HERSELF?! so neat so hot so super cool... and it's just, like, an ordinary tuesday after work for me (not to brag but to brag...)]. No but seriously, I have every faith anyone could do this assembly in reasonable time—UNLESS putting furniture together inherently frustrates you... then maybe recruit help. No shame in it. Note -- assembly: I did have to pause and double-check myself at one point where the directions confused me, it turned out I was doing it right, so I happily just moved on and ended up finishing pretty quickly. I wasn't timing it, so I can't say I did it in under an hour, or thirty minutes. But it feels like it was super quick... Note 2 -- brand/assembly: I love the little ratchet allen wrench this comes with! Our last bed frame was also from Zinus, a metal one we now use in our guest room, & that came with one, too. We've used that wrench assembling other, non-Zinus things—it's just *so* handy... Note 3 -- brand: Zinus also throws in this other, to me, funny, but also thoughtful & almost-classy touch when you buy their stuff—at least the bed frames (I think it's meant to say, hey, customer, we care enough to go the extra mile; we like you; so please can we haz 5 stars? & maybe/probably it's useful to some folks): a very svelt green envelope filled with several greeting cards. The cards inside have minimalist/generally likeable cover designs and are blank on the inside. I believe they're meant to be filled in & gifted to friends and loved ones... and I almost maybe would, except the back side says "Zinus" and has the logo and links to their site, and, idk... maybe this is just me, but, for me, if I'm receiving this card as a gift, I'm not feeling super special once I recognize (or don't recognize but then log on to the website and quickly learn about) the brand, and that they make furniture, and then piece together this cheap/lazy buddy of mine just gave me whatever they had lying around from some totally unrelated, not-for-me, probably-Amazon purchase... I would recommend to the brand: consider taking out the self-promotion on the back. I know, it seems to defeat much of the point of this nice touch, but, if there are many others like me, they ain't gifting these to people unless you take that out. And if I *could* gift these to people, I'd think, wow, cool brand. Very classy touch. (As it is, I find it classy then not classy then kind of classy then mostly confusing but still hope you keep it going with or without the logo etc.)

The bed frame has a really nice finish and feels very sturdy. I bought it during Prime Day, and it was definitely worth the price. Great quality for the money. Very happy with this purchase!

The product is lovely. Nice solid wood, well crafted, soundless, lovely. As far as a wood platform goes, this is the one. Well worth the price. What made it really special though, was the love and care put into the packaging, and the respect for the customer and their time that was apparent throughout the assembly process. It comes with a wonderful allan key torgue wrench which makes everything SO fast as simple. Everything you need to assemble it quickly and easily by yourself is in the box. Instructions are clear, no stress, it was actually fun to put together! The styrofoam is wrapped in plastic for cleanliness, there's even little notes of well wishing. I felt special as the consumer which is a first. Great experience all round. Want to go out of my way to purchase more products from them. Buy this platform!

Review is for the twin size in rustic pine. The bed frame is solid, real wood as opposed to "re-engineered wood" from sawdust and glue. This makes it relatively light and strong. Everything fit together well, and of course they provide all fasteners, even some spares, and the wrench required to assemble the item. In fact they provide a small ratchet wrench making it even easier. The package arrived very well beaten up, scraped and dinged... but that was the outer layer. Then there was another box inside of double layer corrugated cardboard... it was also damaged. THEN there was yet another inner box of double corrugated cardboard which was only dinged in one place. Inside all of that was the product... not damaged at all. It was wrapped in foam, and spaces were filled with some kind of Styrofoam... but the Styrofoam was itself packaged in plastic bags so as not to fracture and fly all over the place. Extremely well packaged. One might ask how much of the price is for the packaging... but the item arrived unscathed. IMO this is a very good product, excellent packaging, highly recommended.

Nice and simple bed frame. Looks great and was easy to assemble. Came with a nifty little tool that made assembly a breeze. All the parts fit together nicely and the final product seems sturdy.

This is beautiful made with solid cherry wood I really like the packaging and guides me to assemble the bed frame also comes with Allen tool that I keep that for future job I also made headboard for this and now this is my lovely bed frame, thank you for great job highly recommend
