No SQUEAKS and GOOD FOR OVERWEIGHT PEOPLE
My Husband and I had a bedroom set that was nice but the problem was that it made so much noise anytime we would get on the bed, or make any movement on the bed. We gave that bed set away and decided to get this bed frame to see if it would be quieter. I was hesitant at first since I am 330 pounds but my Husband is skinny. Well the set up to this is easy and it came in a small box (see pics) and took us about 5 minutes. The bed makes no noise and no SQUEAKS! It holds well and is very sturdy. The appearance is not pretty but just put a bed skirt and it covers it right up.

cheap and arrived bent/broken
ordered for a guest bedroom. item arrive in an undamaged box. however, once opened I realized one of the two foundations (it comes with two separate foundations which you must screw together) was severely damaged (which is super annoying). additionally the supports are very weak and not suitable if you plan on heavy use or for heavier individuals. may work well for temporary fix or kids room ) definitely would not recommend for kids who habe a tendency to just on the bed) would not recommend

    Perfect option for everything good!
    This frame is the best ever!. My husband made this purchase for me the night before he passed away. He reviewed the product as he had internet service where he was and I unfortunately did not. We were in 2 different states. This bed frame is solid, easy to put together and just the perfect height to store all things extra under it allowing easy access to the items as well. (and yes, it holds special memories too), but that aside, it's really worth the buy!.

    I did get it and it worked good but they left it out by my truck in my driveway in the back of my truck on the by the bumper and that's easy for people to you know get that stuff they didn't bring it up to the porch like they supposed to most of the drivers that come don't get put stuff on the porch they put it on my truck that's in my driveway and it ain't fencing so I'll try to tell him to put it on the porch but they never do so that's why the end the review is not that good cuz the driver's always doing it wrong they're not putting it on the porch you need to tell your drivers to put it on the porch thank you and I sleep comfortable in it of the mattress I bought

    Dented on Arrival. But a Good Buy.
    This item is as described. Easy tool-free assembly. Seems very quiet. However, it arrived BADLY dented in the box, which makes me wonder if it will even hold up over use / time. The price was right though - and it was easy to move to a 3rd floor walkup.

    Great reasonable priced purchase
    This is a great frame! Im lazy and dont review my purchases, but if youre on the fence with this one. Definitely go for it. I got the 18 inch, queen and with my 10 inch mattress it is quite high. Quite sturdy, extremely easy to make( this is VERY important for me as I am not at all handy with tools and heavy lifting). The fact that it is sooo easy and collapsible makes life easy, that too at such a great price.

    Easy to put together
    Iv ordered this befor and loved it. I still do sadly I ordered a queen when I have a full. But that's a mistake on my part. It's so easy to put together. But I do recommend to have your bed propped up against the wall or something so you have a good work soace

    Easy choice, this is the best
    There's no reason not to buy this if you have a twin xl mattress. I'm 325lbs and 5'11". I trust this frame 100%.

    Zinus bed frame
    I really like this bed frame. I bought the California king size. It didn't take long to put together. it basically came in 2 pieces and you screw them together then turn them over and it's ready. it doesn't squeak or make noise or slide around. the only thing I don't like is that when I move my matress over to make my bed it sounds like its ripping it hopefully not but other than that I have no complaints. I would recommend putting a box spring or something under your mattress.

    Too high for me. Lol
    Great product , just not for me. I thought 18” would be awesome because I could store bins under, but, my mattress is approx 15 inches so total of 33 inches and I'm only 5'5 . When I put it all together I could barely get on the bed . Lol. I'm returning as soon as they start taking returns. They are not taking due to the virus.

    Love my "new" bed
    I say I love my "new" bed with quotes because it isn't completely new. We didn't change the mattress, only what it was sitting on. I have to tell you that my husband and I could not be happier. It is tall, but that is what we like about it. We went from basically sleeping on the floor to a total height of 30" so it was a big change. It was a change we needed. We can store so many things that have been cluttering up our room under our bed now and clear our space. The frame was also super easy to put together, but still feels very sturdy. I recommend this bed frame to anyone "thinking" about it. Just do it!!

    Zinus 18" Platform Bedframe Very Happy
    I ordered this product because I needed storage space underneath it and also I wouldn't need to buy a traditional foundation to go with my queen mattress. My mattress is a pillow top and I was afraid the 18" would make it too high; however, that is not the case. It is just a little higher when I drop my feet on the side but causes no problems. And it looks good. I am using a queen size quilt that I already had, but will be ordering a bedspread soon. I decided I will order a King Size bedspread so that it will go to the floor. I measured and think that it will work. I'm looking forward to being able to get the new bedspread. I will add a photo when I get my new bedspread if I can come back and do that.

    So much storage space!!!!
    I purchased this frame for a kid's room. It is soooo tall! I can store so many toys under this bed it's rediculous! It is tall, so the kiddos need a stool to get up on it. My memory foam mattress did slide a lot on this frame. I purchased 3 rolls of gripper cabinet liner and zip ties at Dollar Tree for a total of $4 and put it on the frame. The mattress no longer slides. It's light weight but sturdy and doesn't wiggle. It was incredibly easy to put together. Shipping was fast- I got it in three days. I did purchase the corresponding headboard/footboard brackets, but have not attached them as of yet.

    If this frame didn't work, I'd have made my own
    My concerns were sturdiness, quiet, height and build quality. The frame met all of those criteria, and if it didn't, I had designs to fabricate my own. It is sturdy and does not shift (wobble, lean, etc.) in any direction. No squeaking getting in/out of bed. It is tall enough for storage containers underneath. The legs are inset enough from the corners so that you don't stub you toes. The mattress will slide on top of the smooth frame, so I recommend getting some non-slip foam-rubber, typically used for carpet and shelving non-slip. I purchased 4) 1' x 5' rolls (from a dollar store) that did the trick.

    Perfect bed for storage
    After going through three different bed frames with "rolling drawer storage" underneath, I finally switched to this bed frame, at half the cost of the flimsy IKEA ones I had been buying and much more storage space! This frame is sturdy and sits high enough that you can slide at least 4 big totes underneath. My parents and my sister all own this bed frame and love it. The only downside to consider is that (obviously) it sits high up, so if you plan on using a box spring with your mattress, be prepared for a bed that is about 3 ft off the ground. I'm barely 5'2 and don't mind the little bit of a climb, but if you're not the mountain-climbing type, you'll want a good step stool. My parents took their box spring out and it works just fine and saves them the climbing too.

    Bought 2 in twin sizes and we love it
    Bought 2 of these in Twin sizes and also bought Spa sensations 6" memory foam mattresses to set up beds for the 2 boys. We love this purchase. Its so easy to put the frames together. you can finish it in 12 mins tops! Only issue I have is the mattresses that go over the frames tend to move a little bcos the base is metal and there's nothing stopping the mattress from moving. I even put a sheet underneath the mattress to keep it from moving. That helps a little. With 2 boys jumping on these beds, you'll be making the beds every morning ... Also considering buying this in a queen size to go inside of our Ikea wood bed frame. Love these bed frames..... they ship fast and assemble faster and super comfortable. You'll guaranteed have the best night's sleep on these... night after night.

    So excited!
    I'm in the in between stages in life, I just graduated college and really wanted to upgrade to a bigger bed. However, all bed frames I looked at were a minimum of $300. I did not want to get a permanent bedroom set, just something to last the next few years. I was skeptical of this frame at first because I typically hate metal bed frames but I read enough reviews to feel comfortable making this purchase. So far I have loved it. It doesn't squeak or move around. I was afraid of it being really tacky and plain looking but I bought a $7 bedskirt from Walmart as well and I like the way it looks all together. Its pretty high off the ground and I have been able to fit a few storage bins underneath. I purchased the queen size along with the 6" spa sensations memory foam mattress. Would definitely recommend this frame to anyone looking for solid furniture at a reasonable price. P.S I'm moving so ignore all the boxes in the corner of the pics
