ZINUS Kai Bamboo and Metal Platform Bed Frame with Headboard, No Box Spring Needed, Easy Assembly, Twin, Brown

This bed frame is great! You are getting high value for such as reasonable price. I spent a while comparing different bed frames, but this one stood out for many reasons.It looks beautiful once assembled and it even has enough space under the bed to add storage containers. Compared to other beds that I have assembled, the assembly was even easier. You can build it with just one person in an hour or less. It feels very sturdy from the short term I have used this bed. I would recommend this bed if you want a beautiful, functional bed frame with under-the-bed storage capacity. I highly recommend for a first time apartment. It works great!

Great look for my minimalist, bamboo and summer themed bedroom. The assembly instructions are great! Kudos to whomever figured them out. Match the numbered pieces in the order given in the instructions, and you're good to go. I have a Tuft and Needle foam-type mattress that must be on rails to breathe. The frame is sturdy, doesn't rattle about (quiet), and as it is lightweight, it is easy to move a bit away from the wall to make the bed. The discs on the metal legs keep from scratching my wood floors. I wrapped cushioning around the metal post in the middle--painful encounter with a toe when I forgot that it was there. Love the frame.

I researched the heck out of budget priced platform beds. None of them seemed to have all the features I wanted, which was to be expected I suppose, as the price point I was looking at was quite low. I settled on this Zinus Leah bed and took a chance.The box was heavy and the contents were packaged well. The finish on the wood is consistent with the photos online and is a honey oak color. I was a bit skeptical of the two long side rails because their depth is only about four inches. It turns out each side rail is made of two sections that meet in the middle at the point where the side rail leg attaches. The screw and bolts used seem quite strong and once the side rail was put together it feels quite strong.The directions were quite easy to follow and things went together in about 45 minutes. The bed actually seems quite strong. It's light and easy to move around without a mattress, but it feels solid. The slats attach with Velcro and will hold in place well as a result. I do wish there were at least two more slats as the spacing between them might be a bit wide for my hybrid mattress, but time will tell. I do intend to drill and screw each slat into it's supporting side rail but that's a project for another day and until that day arrives the Velcro will have to do.The center support rail that supports the slats mid-span is made of metal (aluminum?) and painted black. It seems to secure nicely at each end of the bed and at the side rails with solid screw locking into embedded nuts in the wood. Others have reported that this center rail has moved and otherwise fallen out of position, resulting in unsupported and broken slats, but based upon how our went together I do not see how this can possibly happen. Time will be the judge of this, too, but on installation all looks solid to me. It *may* be of value to counter sink a few screw (self tapping for the metal rail) through a few slats and into the metal rail to further support the rail and keep it from shifting. Perhaps I will consider this whenever I take the mattress of to screw the slats into the side rail. Other reviewers have commented that the center support rail legs are too short to reach the floor, but in our case they are the proper length.I do wish the headboard was about 6 inches taller because with a 12" mattress the headboard looks a bit skimpy, but that's an aesthetic thing I suppose and I am not going to lay awake at night worrying about it. The only other thing I will say about the headboard is that the three horizontal rails that run from side to side are a bit "skimpy". I won't be grabbing the headboard to help shift in bed or to get in our out of bed because I don't think it's that strong. In fact, if it were six inches taller (like I wished it was) it would even be a bit more "skimpy".I was very skeptical of this bed when I ordered it as the $139.00 price point seems to cry out for a poor product, but honestly the bed seems solid.All in all - at the 24 hour mark - I am happy with the bed.

I have had this frame for a few months now. Not once have I had to tighten any screws. The frame is really sturdy. No squeaks with movement. The kids jump up and down on it and I have never had any issues with thinking it was going to break. What i love most is the storage underneath. I have my seasonal clothes in storage totes and I can easily slide them under the bed without having to push and shove. The frame is also light weight enough that I can push on it to move it out of the way when I am vacuuming or when I drop the phone charger.

The bed appears to be a good quality for the price. The bed is very sturdy and It was easy to put together with basic tools. I would highly recommend purchasing if you’re looking for an economically option for a new bed.

Fantastic product. Really impressed with the value here. Simple instructions, mine were listed as letters, but parts had numbers. If you can understand a 3D square, you can assemble this. Great for kids and medium sized humans. Efficient packaging.

It sits really low so I don’t think I would like they way it looked if a box spring were on it. Also, it looks very much like it can be assembled in an hour, but it’s a bit nicer than some other options at this price point. I don’t like the big creases in the middle of the wood but I guess that’s just what happens when something has to be flat packed. It also comes with glue strips pre attached and they are certainly very sticky! It helps the mattress not to slide around. My biggest complaint is the horrible chemical smell. Hopefully it will fade in time. I also want to mention that when you make a Zinus purchase, you get a little slip of paper that says if you do not email them to opt out of arbitration, you are entering into a binding legal agreement to resolve disputes through arbitration, severely affecting your legal rights. Email them within 30 days of purchase to opt out, they are hoping you will be too lazy to do so. Guessing this is a result of their past class action issues..
