ZINUS Van 16 Inch Metal Platform Bed Frame / Steel Slat Support / No Box Spring Needed / Easy Assembly, Queen

This ZINUS bed frame has been great so far. It was pretty easy to assemble and didn’t take much time. Once it was set up, it felt really solid—no squeaking or wobbling. I like how tall it is since there’s a lot of storage space underneath. The metal slats support the mattress well, and you don’t need a box spring at all. Overall, it’s a no-frills bed frame that just works and feels like a good deal.

Fairly easy to assemble by 1 person. Quite sturdy and does it job fairly well. Fits a full size mattress perfectly without issue. Arrives compactly and is a good price!

I'd nearly given up faith in Amazon. The quality of the products I've been purchasing lately seem like they come from the local auction or swap meet, you know what I mean? Cheap, junky items brought straight over from China? Amazon is great about their customer service but what's the price we pay? Crap for convenience? Uggh. Worse is the endless bombardment of emails from sellers trying to get you to review their items. It's almost sickening, but then comes along Zinus... MARKETING: I bought this little bed frame for $53 bucks and at this price point, I'm thinking...straight from a factory from a third-world country, automatically assuming it's going to be junk with horrible instructions written in (enter foreign language here/poor English. Sadly, I've been conditioned to just accept and EXPECT crap. Although the frame may have very well been made in (enter country here), WOW. Upon opening the box I was impressed from the get-go. Included was, not one, but three greetings cards; a Thank You card and two Hello You cards. There was a SINCERE thank you note attached in which they kindly suggest you recycle the cards that were included. I know, I know, this may seem insignificant to most people but I am driven by customer service and the marketing world and THIS is great stuff! At this point, not even knowing what the quality of the frame is yet, I already know I'm going to give them at least a four-star review, just based on their marketing. So, Kudos to your marketing team, Zinus! INSTRUCTIONS: I have YEARS of constructing and assembling many household items throughout my lifetime. I'm pretty certain this is the BEST set of instructions I have ever seen. Not even kidding. Just one large sheet with clear instructions in perfect English on how to assemble it. Super Simple. Took 15 minutes all by myself. QUALITY: Oh my gosh. Not what I was expecting...as you all know by now. It's sturdy, durable, and very well made. No need to elaborate on this point further. BONUS POINTS: Now, this is the item that, in my book, sailed Zinus to the TIPPY TOP of all the businesses I've bought from on Amazon. It's the gosh dang adorable little ratchet that was included. Yup, this little tool made a HUGE difference in the ease of assembling the frame. If Zinus had included a picture of the ratchet and added $5 or even $10 more dollars to the price, I would have bought it over all of their competition! A ratchet...sounds silly, right? But I truly believe the frame will hold up longer having used this tool rather than hand-tightening it with a customary allen wrench (which happens to be included in case you have a preference). I have very sensitive wrists and this was an unexpected true blessing. HOME RUN: I am so pleased to have bought this item from you, Zinus. The people at your company really love what they do and it shows. And it wasn't just about the marketing. The combination of sincerity and a great product (and the ratchet, of course) shows you guys are in it for more than just the money. I must add too, this is the first time I've taken the time to post pictures. Not lazy, just very busy, but your product and customer service made that much of an impact on me that I felt the need to show specifics. Wishing you the best of luck, Zinus. It'd be awesome if ALL THE SELLERS on Amazon were held to your standards.

This bedroomed is very high16 " from floor, but it is so stable and sturdy. It doesn't move when I sit or turn over. I feel safe and comfortable using it. There has been no noise when I move on the bed. I love the height because I can have tall storage underneath. That being said , it did take a hot minute to figure out the connections of the corner legs to the side and end rails ,but once that was figured out (pictures helped ) then the rest was easy peasy. I had 2 of us but one could have done it too. We did it in an hour and a half. But we are old. They give you everything to put it together, including a little ratchet tool that fits all the bolts and an Allen wrench (never used )as backup. The price for the quality is fantastic!

SUper economical choice. Looks great in the space. It was easy to put together and the mattress fits on it perfectly. I got the tall one so with my very big mattress, it makes it a very high bed, but thats exactly what I was hoping for. It goes together easily and it of good quality.

Easy to assemble. Seems well built felt sturdy worked great as a bed frame on its first use!

Easy to put together and super sturdy

Was originally a 5 star review, revised now due to freaking. Bought in April of 2022, broke December 2025. Set up wasn’t too hard, and we really enjoyed the frame until about 6 months ago. First be two years was amazing, great sleep, super support. Then the last 6 months it got harder to sleep on, lots of shoulder and back support issues. It started with needing to tighten down the bolts again, nothing insane. Then the center support bar and leg started to go, bolts snapped, was resetting it often, taping, zip ties. Then center leg supports on the outside started to bow out stretching the metal, the area where the base joined the corner post slowly began to crack and disconnect, then today it finally collapsed. If you’re an “active” couple, don’t get this bed for the long haul. I would recommend this for a short to mid term solution or possibly a guest bedroom. Will say it was a good value to last as long as it did, obviously would have preferred it to make it a bit more though.

Muy fácil de armar, ligera y compacta para transportar en coche y muy resistente. Tiene bordes suaves que evitan rechinidos entre los metales. La altura es perfecta para mi y queda muy elegante y discreto el espacio bajo la cama. La única consideración es que el tamaño es un poco mayor al del colchón, pero es agradable porque sirve para colocar los pies mientras te sujetas los zapatos.

I've purchased two Zinus bed frames in the last month. This is a review of the 16 inch Metal Platform Bed Frame with Steel Slat Support. The other bed I purchased is the Modern Studio 14 inch Platform 3000 with Wooden Slat Support. The review will compare them as I think they both are very good for what they cost but there are reasons why you might choose one over the other. I live on the Canadian prairies where mildew will never be a problem due to the extreme dryness of the climate. Assembly: The metal slat bed has a more pieces and was a more involved build. The frame sides are in two pieces. The instructions had me assembling the foot of the frame into U with the feet attached and the head into an n with the feet attached. I was then to join the two assemblies into the complete frame. When I went to do so, one of the sides had a slight twist preventing the join. I tried using a large adjustable spanner (Crescent wrench) to twist the rectangular tube to fit. The frame material is very solid so this was not successful. I loosened the leg and the attachment of the side piece to the end piece and this allowed the join to be made. This problem speaks to how solidly the frame is built. The wooden frame went together without any hitches and with fewer steps. The metal slat bed kit included spare fasteners but the wooden slat kit did not. One of the hex holes on a bolt on the wooden slat bed stripped but the head was large enough to be able to use a Vise grip to finish the tightening. The finished build on both beds was very solid and I don’t doubt that both will be around after 20 years of daily use. The metal slat model seems to be the more robust of the two. It has three middle support legs vs one on the wooden slat model. Design: The wooden slat model has 12 slats that are 65 mm wide and the metal model has 10 slats that are 12 mm wide. The wooden slat model does a better job of distributing the weight of the mattress. The metal slats are held in place with tabs welded onto the frame. They are not going anywhere. The wooden slats are held in place with Velcro. It might be necessary to redo the Velcro at some point in time (although probably not as there won’t be a lot of stress put on the Velcro under normal use.) The wooden slats appear to be of sufficient quality that they won’t warp from the dry weather however only time will tell. If you have a need for extra strength (say rambunctious teen-aged boys) or you want to save a few dollars (the metal frame model is slightly less expensive,) you might opt for the metal frame model. Both of these beds offer great value for a low price.

Adquirí esta cama individual para mi hija y la sorpresa en la entrega fue ver tan compacta la caja del envío que tuve que preguntar al repartidor si no faltaba otra caja, muy ligera y fácil de armar. Instrucciones claras y viene incluido la herramienta para armar (y para ajustar con el tiempo) así que no hay necesidad de buscar nada para iniciar a armarla. Todas las partes quedaron perfectas sin nada suelto. La prueba definitiva fue mi hijo de 4 años saltando sobre la cama y ni un solo ruido se escuchó. Volvería a adquirir otro producto de esta compañía sin duda. Aparte viene incluido un sobre con tres tarjetas de agradecimiento para personalizar y regalar, todo muy bonito y se agradece.

La base es "facil" de armar aun para una sola persona. No hace ruido pese a ser de este material uno pensaria que rechinaria o haria algun ruido. tiene dos factores que no le favorecen, ambos desde mi perspectiva personal , una por error mio y la otra es bastante ambigua. la base es tan ligera, que hace que toda la cama se mueva con facilidad, lo cual puede ayudar para la limpieza o entorpecer el uso si la cama se pega a una pared. y la segunda , error mio, pedi modelo queen para una cama matrimonial y sobra muchisimo espacio en la base, fijense bien en eso antes de pedirla. como referencia, peso 100 kilos y la base soporta sin problemas

Armado facil , y una vez que se haya armado la estructura es muy liviana y sumamente resistente
