Queen-Sized Espresso Gerard Platform Bed by Zinus

HE-YA LEE: I recently purchased the Zinus Deluxe Faux Leather Upholstered Platform Bed with Wooden Slats, and overall, it has left me quite satisfied, earning a four-star rating. The bed boasts several notable advantages, although there are a couple of drawbacks that need attention.

Let's start with the positives. The bed's design is elegant and spacious, adding a touch of sophistication to my bedroom. The overall construction is sturdy, providing a reliable and durable platform for a good night's sleep. The assembly process was straightforward, and I appreciated the inclusion of wooden slats, ensuring adequate mattress support without the need for a box spring.

One standout feature is the ample storage space beneath the bed. The inclusion of under-bed storage is a game-changer, offering a convenient solution to declutter and organize bedroom essentials. This practical addition enhances the functionality of the bed, especially in smaller living spaces.

However, there are a couple of drawbacks worth noting. The bed's height is higher than that of a standard bed frame, which may not be suitable for everyone. This can be a minor inconvenience, particularly for individuals...

Denise Cannon: We bought a queen for our spare room. It was in perfect shape, great looking and so easy to put together. The design was so well thought out and it even came with a little ratchet. Very impressive! I highly recommend it!

Shelby Warrington: I had a standard metal frame for my box spring and mattress before. This is great! Not as high as I would like with no box spring and too high with the box spring. Goes with all my other bedroom furniture. I've been using the frame for over a month and my mattress seems way more comfortable than it was before.

Also, this was super easy to put together! Once I had gotten everything laid out to make sure I had all the pieces, it took maybe 30 minutes to put it all together.

Highly recommend!

Gail In the ATLGail In the ATL: The entire time I was unpacking and putting the bed together, I was creating a glowing review in my head, until I unwrapped the damaged spot. My heart sank because it was less than perfect.
First, the packaging was (mostly) perfect and everything neatly protected from damage during travel. The outer box had a significant punch/tear inevitable from shipping such a large heavy item. But the inner box (yes, it’s double boxed) was not damaged, thus the headboard was safely spared. I had to unbox it in the garage, so I could carry the various parts upstairs one by one. I’m 55 and 5’2”, so, it was too heavy for me. The neat, tucked into the headboard arrangement was very well thought out, although I later discovered one of the side rails had shifted in transit and poked a 3/4” hole in another side rail. So now the bed is 96% perfect. I assembled the bed with the blemish away from view, and once a mattress and bedding is on it, no one is likely to notice.
The bed was not difficult to assemble, having both paper and video instruction available. The bed is heavy and sturdy and I feel confident it should last. The faux leather has a nice look and feel to it, not cheap...

AmazonCustomerAmazonCustomer: For this price point including well packaged UPS/FedEx shipping and 5 year warranty, you will not find a bed of this quality with slacks. I kept this product in my wish list for many days, scouting around Sears, Ikea, Best Buy and even local furniture stores before I decided to purchase this bed. I am glad I took this decision. In Ikea, a similar bed would cost 700 CAD with slacks with delivery. In other places, I was getting similar beds but of a poorer quality.

The bed itself is very well made and it is not surprising that the manufacturers have patented this design. Inside of the bed are four cross metal frames that are light, solid and very easy to fit together. The headboard and foot board slide into lock nuts from top after which they do not apply any pressure to the headboard and footboard downwards. I was initially worried about the legs breaking now under stress but after putting it together, I can see that they is no way it can happen unless you put it together in a wrong way. The corner top bolts of the headboard and footboard can only be fitted with an Alan Key (provided) as the area is not accessible through a screwdriver.

Some suggestions for those who...

KimKim: Just got this bed yesterday so here's my review after assembly and 1 night of sleep.
-Price is RIGHT.
-Super fast shipping with Prime.
-I ordered the queen size and by opening the box and separating the pieces on the lower level, I was able to take it upstairs by myself. It's shipped in 1 box, all pieces conveniently zipped inside the headboard. The box is on the heavier side but mostly just awkward for 1 person to maneuver.
-Instructions were clear and assembly took about 45 minutes for one person and I am not a super handy person but handy enough.
-Very sturdy, metal crossbars and extra legs for support, does not make noise, holds my 10 inch memory foam mattress comfortably and evenly.
-The color is a dark brown but looks black, has a slight shine to it.
-There's about a foot of space underneath, plenty to store containers.
-Slats are real wood, not pressed particle board, held together by velcro strips which adhere to the frame itself for extra security.
-The headboard feels like it should sit up against a wall.
-The legs of the frame are plastic, they feel pretty strong and secure but I would've preferred wood or metal legs on the 4 main...
