ZINUS Raymond Wood Platform Bed Frame with Adjustable Wood Headboard, Solid Wood Foundation, Wood Slat Support, No Box Spring Needed, Easy Assembly, King, Brown

This was very easy to assemble! Took about an hour with my partner. We ordered the twin size bed frame for reference. It’s worth noting that the twin size does not have a center support underneath the middle of the bed. It just has four corners and two more legs along the sides, therefore, I hope it proves to be sturdy.The only issue I had with building it is that there were some random holes made for hardware which nothing would fit through, so I hope I wasn’t missing something. It was very confusing at times and we had to backtrack to make sure we did everything correctly. There are no words, just pictures.For anyone who wants to know, I ordered a new twin size memory foam mattress to go with the frame (I ordered the brand “Vibe” off Amazon and would recommend) and it’s a 12 inch. It fits PERFECTLY, and the mattress comes right up to the bottom of the headboard. This was important because I wanted to be able to see as much of the headboard as possible without there being a gap between the mattress and the bottom of the headboard. Could not be any happier about that! It’s the perfect match.With this being said, I feel like it’s overpriced. I get that it’s “solid wood” but it’s very light. Unbelievably light really. The boards to support the mattress especially feel flimsy. If you/your kids get rowdy or jump on the bed, it probably won’t handle that well.All in all, I like the bed. It was easy to assemble. Very simple, albeit, to a fault (picture instructions). It is really not anything special, but I’m happy with the style. I just hope it holds up over time.UPDATE 10/5/2022One of the pieces of wood that support the headboard snapped clean in half. I messaged customer support about a replacement and they proved to be difficult, asking that I find the bed’s original building instructions, circle the parts that need replacing, and then email them with the pictures. Obviously I still did not have these instructions on hand as it’s been a couple years since the bed was built. I was also informed I would need to ship the headboard back for them to review before considering replacement options, which doesn’t necessarily seem unfair but is certainly a hinderance and timely process, not to mention it requires disassembling and reassembling the bed. Joy.Furthermore, the wood making up this piece which supports the headboard looks to be very cheap, like particle board on the inside. It literally feels like cardboard when I touch where it broke. As you can see in the picture, it is a clean straight break. Very strange. This is not something that should happen. This could have caused my son serious injury had it snapped in the middle of the night when he was sleeping. Of all places to skimp on quality wood during production, the pieces supporting and suspending the headboard over someone’s ACTUAL HEAD makes the least sense to me.

This is a very pretty bed. The main value here is definitely the mid-century modern style and its reddish-walnuty look. This is the kind of design I would expect from the West Elm, CB2, etc. For the price, I think this is really hard to beat if you want the MCM, wooden headboard type of look.Constructing this was easy and quick for one person. The instructions are slightly unconventional with its number sticker system, but still easy to follow. I felt the bed was engineered with user-friendliness in mind.The parts were well-packed and clean. The styrofoam padding was wrapped in plastic to prevent styrofoam bits from getting everywhere. Comparable to how an IKEA product would be flat-packed.I previously had a (similarly-priced) IKEA Malm, which was built like a particle board tank. In comparison, this bed is less sturdy, but still sturdy enough where I'm not worried about it in regular use. This is just not a bed I can freely shove around a room like the Malm.I'm using the IKEA HAUGSVÄR mattress, and it's the perfect height for the tallest setting on the headboard. Very happy with the fit.The main weakness of the bed is how the headboard is attached to the frame with 3 boards. There is some give/flexibility when pushing against headboard. To work around this, they give you 3 pads that you attach to the back of the headboard. Then you place the bed against a wall. This works just fine in my case, but more expensive beds will have the headboard fully extend down to the frame, much sturdier.Overall, I'm happy with my purchase because I really like the look of the bed. This is a well-designed product from the packaging to the finish.

We've bought 3 different models of Zinus beds and like them all but this is the best one by appearance. They're all good quality with easy assembly. This one just looks better.

my experience with this bed has its ups and downs. it came a whole week earlier than expected, which isn’t inherently bad, but amazon didn’t inform me of this at all. luckily someone was home to grab the package since it showed up out of nowhere. secondly the package arrived extremely damaged, as if someone used the box as a punching bag. fortunately only a small section of the headboard was damaged. not enough for me to bother with a return. now putting it together wasn’t very time consuming but the directions have no words and all the pieces are labeled incorrectly. i was able to figure it out eventually but if you’re not experienced in assembling furniture i’d expect it to be much more of a struggle. overall i love the appearance i just wish i had bought it before the price hiked up. i cant speak for sturdiness but if anything happens i will update my review accordingly.
