ZINUS Joseph Metal Platforma Bed Frame, Mattress Foundation, Wood Slat Support, No Box Spring Needed, Sturdy Steel Structure, Twin

I received this product in fairly good condition. The packaging was fine, nothing was bent or missing, and the included hardware and tools to put the bed frame together are sufficient to get the job done.Opening the packaging, everything is plastic wrapped and pretty well protected so that you don't accidentally scratch any of the pieces.There are included instructions which are pretty easy to follow, essentially just match up the numbers on one part to the numbers on another part and screw the two pieces together. This entire process took me maybe 20 - 30 minutes to do by myself and I was taking my time with it. If two people were to put this together, it would probably only take about 15 minutes.Once put together, I was surprised by just how sturdy the frame seemed to be. It is well made and the welds on the pieces seem to be fine. As others have mentioned, the center supports seem to be the only area where some additional reinforcement could be needed, but so long as you set the bed in the spot you intend to keep it and don't drag it around on the floor too much, the center supports are sufficient in my opinion. The bed frame or platform, whatever you want to call it, is also the perfect size for the queen mattress I bought for it. I had seen reviews on other bed frames where some mattresses were too big or too small so the fact this was a non-issue was nice. Another big plus for me is that there is no rattling or squeaking. The bed frame looks great while providing a nice base for my mattress to be supported on.I suppose the only con to this bed frame is the lack of storage volume underneath the frame itself in case someone were to want to store things underneath it. You can definitely fit things that aren't too tall underneath but if you're someone that likes to have a lot of under bed storage, then this bed frame probably isn't the one for you. I wouldn't really call this a con however seeing as it is listed as being only a 6 inch tall platform, so there you go.All in all, 10/10 from me. It met all my expectations and ended up being a much better product than I anticipated and I would highly recommend it to people that want a low profile, budget friendly bed frame option that looks good and is functional.

Happy with my purchase. Bought the 18" full size frame (on sale) for the under bed storage but I also liked the minimal modern design. As an apartment renter, I know I'll move at some point or another so didn't want a very heavy bulky frame, so also a pro that this disassembles and flat-packs easily.Initial impressions - impressed with box size and efficiency of packing. I was able to carry the ~47 lb box up one flight of stairs myself without much trouble. Assembly by myself was easy. Package has minimal padding, using some soft foam pieces (appreciated no styrofoam!) and each metal piece in a plastic sleeve. Many had broken through their plastic sleeves, but everything was in great condition/no scratches. It's one of the rare times where I thought a product could actually use a hair more packing material - but again, there was no damage.As I started to assemble, none of my pieces were labeled (except screws) but it was fairly easy to identify and follow the printed instructions. As another reviewer suggested, open the box lengthwise, assemble, then add screws (frame will hold basic shape), and do final tightening of screws for each step once all are in to ensure everything aligns. Unfortunately one bottom corner of the lengthwise side bars (piece "B") had a screw hole on the wrong side (outer instead of inner) which put a dampener on my set-up as I worried about overall quality control. Confirmed it was manufacturer error and not my own. However it seemed to hold just fine and was in the room corner (not getting on the bed on that side)... I macgyvered with some duct tape for now to ensure it stays in place and reached out to support. (More comments on this below).The rest of assembly went fast. About 50% of screw holes were super smooth and easy, the other 50% took a little time to get the screw to thread correctly but then went in fine once started. I found it best to start all by hand then tighten with the provided ratchet. Unlike IKEA assembly, the screws seem good quality and I had zero issue with any getting stripped - and think I'll be able to disassemble/reassemble as needed without issue. Some reviews mentioned that they were given extra screws - mine did not. The slats laid out fast and connect to the edges with velcro - I took the time to press down on the entire strip. I added the provided tiny rubber strips on frame edges to reduce mattress shifting, but held off on using the slat stickers (I rotate my mattress regularly so don't plan to use). Once I added my mattress, the slats (and Velcro) settled some as I laid down for the first few times, but no noise from the frame, and no issues with mattress shifting.After a couple weeks of use, I'm very happy. The frame and slats have no noise, seems strong, and I've had no issues with the mattress shifting. Only if I put a lot of weight into one spot will I occasionally get a tiny bit of noise from the Velcro - i.e. crawling across the bed - and not every time, never loud enough to bother me, or really notice unless listening for it, and it's been less and less as the Velcro connections tighten. I also find that this new frame gives more mattress support - I didn't realize my prior frame had a little too much give until now, thinking it was my mattress.Love the under bed storage capacity, especially for an apartment. The frame looks great even in a smaller room, despite the height.Regarding the piece with incorrect screw hole - I reached out to Zinus (as Amazon instructs for broken/missing pieces). Initially they said I'd have to speak to Amazon and return/replace because I was still in the return window. When I clarified that I just needed/wanted a replacement piece and wanted to otherwise keep my order, they escalated my request to upper support, and should be shipping the new piece soon. I'll update if any issues with this.
