ZINUS Arnav Metal Platform Bed Frame with Headboard / Wood Slat Support / No Box Spring Needed / Easy Assembly, Queen

I bought this bed frame for a new 14" memory foam mattress. I must say that I am very happy with the purchase and I am extremely impressed with the quality of the product. The delivery was a few days faster than original estimate - it's like receiving an unexpected gift! The box seemed to be opened previously as evidenced by the extra packing tape around the edges and upon opening the box, I found that the tie wraps that bind the slats together were cut at one end (there are two bundles of slats and both tie wraps were cut). This originally worried me a bit. However, upon inspecting the rest of the contents, I got convinced all was still well. There was nothing missing, every part was individually wrapped, the hardware was present and still in original packaging without damage and even the padding around the metal parts were in place. The instructions say it's a two person job but I was able to finish the whole task in less than 30 mins, including the unpacking, and the assembly. {Tip to one-person DIY'ers} The box is heavy (good because it's a sturdy unit) so don't try to lift or move on your own. I cut the packing tape with a box cutter along the long edge and both ends. This allowed me to remove each metal bar one by one and set up in my living room for easy assembly. The pieces went together very easily. I was impressed how everything fit well without any forcing, every one of the bolt holes lined up perfectly which allowed manual insertion and tightening of bolts. {Tip to one-person DIY'ers} The end pieces with the legs are free-standing after assembly, so once you stand them upright, attaching the side long bars by myself was very easy. There were some nice touches too: The bolts had all the washers and split washers already installed, they even provided a mini ratchet for the hex bolts. All the parts had numbers on them and each joint had the same number so matching parts to one another was super simple. The wood slats were in two bundles and attached to each other with velcro which made placing them evenly on the frame very easy - no guess work or measurement required. They even included a sticky tape on two of the slats (already installed) to prevent the mattress from slipping. Final nice touch was that there are bolt slots for the end pieces at one end. The holes lined up perfectly with the holes on my existing headboard. I found a couple of long bolts in my tool box. I am extremely happy with this purchase and very impressed with the quality of the product. I like it better than the slightly cheaper model from the same brand which has bars at the bottom too. This design with the legs makes it look more elegant and makes it easy to clean underneath with vacuum or sweeper.

Fantastic product -- as others have noted, it is very well built and high-quality. No creaks or squeaks whatsoever, and the slats are thick and sturdy. If anything changes I'll come back and change this review, but for now, be assured that this is awesome. A few things to note: 1) Box is EXTREMELY heavy and actually quite large as well -- which makes sense, as the long sides of the bed are all single pieces of steel. Thus a queensized bed comes in a box >80" long (as there's extra room in there for packaging materials). This may make it difficult to squeeze around corners so plan ahead. 2) Packaging is excellent -- 2 layers of cardboard boxing plus additional pieces of padding, wrapping and cardboard to separate the sections. I suspect people who got damaged products either had a UPS failure or, more likely, dumped all the pieces out at once and allowed them to smash against each other. Just cut the boxes open and take the pieces out one by one and you'll be fine. 3) Assembly is very straightforward and very well explained. I did it by myself in ~1 hr, and I was watching netflix the whole time. It's easier than Legos. Everything is illustrated and the pieces are even labeled for convenience. Tools are included and so are bolts -- of which there are only two very easily distinguishable types, so there's zero chance for a mixup. Seriously, all those reviewers complaining about middle pieces being too short have just totally failed at following extremely simple picture instructions and/or hammered it together without bothering to even look at the diagrams. 4) Did I mention the box was heavy? Seriously, it's heavy. So heavy. So, so, so heavy. Get some friends to help. I included some pics of the assembly process... note that even the headboard comes in single pieces (i.e. two pieces for the sides, one for the bottom cross bar, three for the top crossbars). Please ignore the pathetic airbed in the pic. I'm still waiting for my real mattress :D

This frame is relatively inexpensive but performs well. The build quality is important for a bed frame and this one is quite solid. The tools provided for assembly are also among the best I've seen, including a ratcheting allen wrench.

The frame started off easy to assemble, but two of the sides (opposite oddly) were not lined up perfectly and we needed to hammer the side down and have one of us hold and twist whole the other screw the screws. All in all for the price you get a decent frame that is solid and sturdy once you are able to put it together with help. It’s not cute and is utilitarian in looks, but it does the job and is at the height I wanted with the mattress/pad I have. I have assembled a ton of furniture and this is pretty common with this price point. It was packaged nicely too and they provided a ratchet which made things easier. I’d recommend with the disclaimer that you need help to assemble and don’t expect perfection at this price point or design.

We were apprehensive to get another bed on Amazon after having bad luck with a different purchase. After reading through Reddit threads, this brand came up a lot and we decided to try. It was incredibly easy to build. Looks great and has good support for the mattress. It’s very sturdy, doesn’t make any noise when you’re moving about. Great value for money.

Cette base de lit Zinus Arnav pour lit Queen est de belle fabrication, très solide et ne bouge pas. Le montage a été super facile à faire et rapidement, le matelas fut déposé dessus. Je recommande cette base de lit Zinus Arnav pour lit Queen.

Easy to put together. Loved the finished product.

The item is good but only one component doesn't fit well. I want to contact the supplier

Pros: Well packackaged with no scratches but not a ton of waste. Good quality materials. Well designed - easy to assemble and (almost) everything fits as it should. The parts are organized and well labeled. There are even some spare nuts and bolts (labeled so you don't just think you screwed up...but also extras in the regular spot so I did wonder if I missed something?) which is a nice touch. Most similar companies scrimp on these details. The instructions are clear and simple. They took some care with the product - there are some cute little notecards to use as a bonus. Cutesy but not just plea for a good review. Feels sturdy and should be good mattress support but I'll update if anything goes wrong over the next few months. Cons- one crossbeam us a little warped to one of four bolts won't fit. Not worth return but will definitely shorten the life of the bed. Pretty good experience so far! Will have to see if the one crossbeam holds up.
