Zinus Deluxe Faux Leather Upholstered Platform Bed with Wooden Slats, Queen

This bed frame arrived today and took me about an hour to assemble. As others have mentioned, it is nice that everything comes packaged in a zipper pocket behind the headboard. Also it is very sturdy. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a frame.

Just though I would do a little update about the bed. 3/20/17.

The bed is still holding together awesome. No rips or tears at all. Still lools brand new. Actually moved houses very well. Still love that it packs into itself. Still very satisfied with this purchase. 🙂

I don’t usually take the time to write reviews for anything but I always read them before buying something. There are a lot of mixed reviews on this product which deterred me from it initially but in the end I ordered it and I love it! It came undamged and with no pieces missing! The fake leather is beautiful and soft! I’m a 5’4″ 130lb woman and I put this together with ease and a one year old running around. Ive had it for about a month and I’ve been extra ruff with it to see if it held up nicely ( and I mean like jumping on it ruff). So far so good I have yet to have a single problem! I’m sure they have duds that they ship out which can be frustrating if you get a dud. I am just here to write to the people like me who are just looking for some reassurance. I got a great bed! P.s. Don’t mind my no pants child in the picture (:

I just got this bed setup last night. We were using just a basic metal platform frame before this. The first thing I noticed was just how well packaged this bed was. Everything comes in one box, with all the pieces contained within a zippered pouch on the backside of the headboard.. Genius!

The pieces themselves are very solid with pre-installed metal brackets for support. The + style middle support is all metal as well. This made be feel very confident in this bed holding up to shifts and weight.

The “leather” feels about as good as you can expect faux leather to feel. It’s padded obviously, but it feels nice.. especially for this price point. The bed as a whole looks absolutely amazing. Does it look like something that would cost you $800 at the furniture store? no.. but it doesn’t look like it was $250 either… Assembly was a breeze.. instructions were clear and it took me just shy of an hour.

Overall, this bed is amazing.. especially for this price point.

I received my frame yesterday. Installation was a breeze (took me about 45 minutes). The quality of the frame itself is surprisingly good for the price. I am satisfied with everything except the wood slats. My previous bed frame is Malm, by Ikea and their wood slats are thick and have no bend. The wood slats included with the Zinus flex very easily and seems like it a kid can karate chop it and break it easily! No exaggeration. I wouldn’t mind the price point being higher to have higher quality wood slats. MINUS 1 STAR here. Another disappointment about my purchase is that the seller claims the spacing between the wood slats are 3″. I am not sure if I received the wrong wood slats but the spacing on my frame is slightly over 4.5″ and in some parts, closer to 4.75″. I bought a Leesa mattress to go with this frame and they said wood slats are fine except they can not be more than 3″ apart. VERY disappointed with the seller being dishonest. MINUS 2 STARS here. I will contact them to see what they can do. If It wasn’t too much trouble, I would return the frame but it looks like I will have to spend extra cash to purchase plywood to support the mattress correctly.

UPDATE: After a week of owning the frame, one of the slats already cracked on me. Very disappointed. I went to a local lumber store and bought 12 pieces 3.5″ x .75″ pine to replace the original ones. Amazon reimbursed me for the costs, so big thanks to Amazon for taking care of me.

Update: I contacted Zinus about the missing hex bolts. I never got a reply. No replacement was sent. Inaccurate photos and poor customer service… At this point I don’t see myself buying another Zinus product.

The frame does not allow the mattress to seat into the frame as shown in the pictures. The slats aren’t below the edges, they are flush with the edges. The mattress can slide very easily if bumped with any heft. This is not what I expected and certainly not what I desired.

The frame was also missing two “S” hex bolts. Since they ship one spare “S” hex bolt, with the other sizes, it’s really only short one “S” hex bolt. But there should have been two in one of the “C” side frame pieces, like the other 3 “C” pieces, and there were none.

I do like the overall look of the design, although certain things like the plastic legs have me wondering about durability.

This was a good purchase for me, this is a really nice solid bed it took 45 mins to put it together myself, i follow this guys video tutorial
[…] and it made it super simple, everything is in the headboard of the bed and it has a nice height off the ground i have a queen mattress i attached a picture to show the height from the ground
