Perfect for my apartment!

I recently had a resolved water problem that damaged my box spring, and I had to throw it out. I opted for this product...high off the ground, gave me storage space that was easy to get to, and a mattress support that would be easy to take down and transport to another apartment without struggling with an unbendable and bulky boxspring. I have been using it now for about a week and it feels no different from a traditional box spring...and the price was right!

Joint issues

Ordered online. Came in a box, wrapped up. When opened, it was heavily rusted. As i inspected some joints, they felt really unsteady. And came severely damaged/rusted. Overall the bed was lightweight, looked okay. I returned it because I didn’t want to pay for something damaged/likely to break either with how it came. I would say definitely inspect the whole thing and be sure its not messed up.

    So excited!

    I'm in the in between stages in life, I just graduated college and really wanted to upgrade to a bigger bed. However, all bed frames I looked at were a minimum of $300. I did not want to get a permanent bedroom set, just something to last the next few years. I was skeptical of this frame at first because I typically hate metal bed frames but I read enough reviews to feel comfortable making this purchase. So far I have loved it. It doesn't squeak or move around. I was afraid of it being really tacky and plain looking but I bought a $7 bedskirt from Walmart as well and I like the way it looks all together. Its pretty high off the ground and I have been able to fit a few storage bins underneath. I purchased the queen size along with the 6" spa...

    Great bed!

    We just bought this for our 2 daughters and we were shockingly surprised at the great construction of this product. It is very sturdy and the best part is you don't have to buy a box spring. It is super easy to put together. It literally took us about 5 minutes to put each bed together. The best part is the price. We paid a total of $130 for each twin bed ($55 for the frame and $75 for the mattress) and that was AWESOME! Its a really great deal. The only negative is the light weight construction causes the bed to shift (move) easily.

    I 100% recommend this frame to everyone!

    I absolutely love this bed frame! I don't think I've ever had a bed that felt so sturdy and secure. It may seem dramatic, but when you've spent your whole life sleeping on the same bed and mattress, it's exciting getting a new one. I bought this frame in the full size and assembly was so easy. It took more time getting everything out of the box and unwrapping it than it did for me to actually assemble it. The full size comes as two separate frame pieces that you just unfold and screw together. No tools are needed. There are also 8 places where support poles come out that have to be bolted securely with a wing nut. That's literally all you have to do. It's very lightweight and easy to move. The underbed storage is also great. I know people w...

    Easy Peasy

    Delivery was quick, assembly was quick and easy I barely needed instructions. I thought I was missing the 8 inner extensions then my sister pointed them out to me (have to push them out). The legs have plastic covers on the ends so it doesn’t tear the carpet. I love that it’s versatile for more than a Queen size bed. When I have my future twin kids, I’ll already have twin sized bed frames! I’m currently using it for a Queen sized mattress which I also purchased from Walmart.

    Easy to put together

    Iv ordered this befor and loved it. I still do sadly I ordered a queen when I have a full. But that’s a mistake on my part. It’s so easy to put together. But I do recommend to have your bed propped up against the wall or something so you have a good work soace

    Please inspect when shipping, mine was imperfect

    I was disappointed to find that my frame came with imperfections/damage perhaps from shipping some of the support wires were BENT also one of the support beams were also visibly damaged/BENT. I put it together with ease just to see if the damage would affect how the mattress felt or interfere with support. My Queen mattress is well made you could not feel the imperfections in the frame so I am keeping it.

    Before making my purchase I read most of the reviews on this product. I have to say from personal experience that the frame is worth the money. When you first see the frame it looks as if it is cheaply made however once you set it up you realize it is well constructed. As for people who have the issue of their mattress sliding around I suggest the liner that you can put in you cabinets to keep that from happening it has worked wonders for me. A bed skirts is recommended as well unless you like being able to see what you store under your bed. I placed a 12 inch mattress on the frame and enjoy the height that both offer. I am a rather large person as is my significant other we both toss and turn some nights and have yet to experience any soun...

    Bought 2 in twin sizes and we love it

    Bought 2 of these in Twin sizes and also bought Spa sensations 6" memory foam mattresses to set up beds for the 2 boys. We love this purchase. Its so easy to put the frames together. you can finish it in 12 mins tops! Only issue I have is the mattresses that go over the frames tend to move a little bcos the base is metal and there's nothing stopping the mattress from moving. I even put a sheet underneath the mattress to keep it from moving. That helps a little. With 2 boys jumping on these beds, you'll be making the beds every morning ... Also considering buying this in a queen size to go inside of our Ikea wood bed frame. Love these bed frames..... they ship fast and assemble faster and super comfortable. You'll guaranteed have the b...

    the middle posts do not touch the floor

    This actually comes in two cot-sized pieces that bolt together (bolts are included). But there is no bracket or brace in the middle so the middle legs or posts do not actually touch the ground. I'm hoping once the mattress is on there, it will be heavy enough that the middle legs will touch the ground. Some of the wires on one side were a little bent as well. I'm not sure if the wires that makeup this bed foundation will hold up over time.

    Queen frame.

    I ordered this in the queen frame online on 12/31/12 with free home shipping. It shipped Thursday 1/2/13 and I received it via FedEx on 1/3/13 with tracking to confirm these dates. It was about a 40# box that was smaller than expected...but still considered large. The frame required no tools whatsoever to assemble (it was basically already assembled and just needed a couple already attached pieces screwed together by hand). The queen frame actually comes in two separate foldable frames that you secure together - again, no tools needed. This is awesome because if needed you could actually keep them separated and use them as two separate beds/cots for traveling, visitors, or even your child's bedroom. I used a 14" bed skirt to cover the metal...

    Zinus bed frame

    I really like this bed frame. I bought the California king size. It didn't take long to put together. it basically came in 2 pieces and you screw them together then turn them over and it's ready. it doesn't squeak or make noise or slide around. the only thing I don't like is that when I move my matress over to make my bed it sounds like its ripping it hopefully not but other than that I have no complaints. I would recommend putting a box spring or something under your mattress.

    Better than what I expected =D

    I had a brand new, full size mattress, and I was needing to buy a box spring and rails for a full size bed. I was trying to avoid spending alot of money and in my search I found this option "The Spa Sensations Steel Smart Base bed frame". This does the job for both: the box sping and rails. I read a few reviews and gave it a try. I got it shipped to the store faster than what I expected. There is a lot of storage underneath the bed. I was able to fit a crib mattress from my daughter's toodler bed, and it stores it very well. It is not very pretty to show so you might want to consider putting a bed skirt to hide the steel. Other than that it feels very comfortable, strong and it does the job. I feel is money well spent and Im extremely happy...

    Great frame!

    So, my boyfriend and I moved into our first apartment together and we need a frame for our mattress. Well, we wanted no box spring and a frame that would lift us off the ground because my boyfriend is 6'4". This frame is perfect because it does lift you off the ground and has enough space for one storage container (full size bed frame). Also, it's a little squeaky but that didn't start until like week two (we have a lot of playtime, if you will). I would recommend this frame highly.

    No SQUEAKS and GOOD FOR OVERWEIGHT PEOPLE

    My Husband and I had a bedroom set that was nice but the problem was that it made so much noise anytime we would get on the bed, or make any movement on the bed. We gave that bed set away and decided to get this bed frame to see if it would be quieter. I was hesitant at first since I am 330 pounds but my Husband is skinny. Well the set up to this is easy and it came in a small box (see pics) and took us about 5 minutes. The bed makes no noise and no SQUEAKS! It holds well and is very sturdy. The appearance is not pretty but just put a bed skirt and it covers it right up.

    Excellent!

    I moved to a senior apt. and wanted something I could receive via home shipping , be easy to put together and sturdy, as well. This frame was just that, along with the spa sensations foam mattress! It arrived in good time, and boxes , even mattress box , weren't hard to move at all. I got the 8" mattress, as they all say it's firm. It's firm, yet soft at same time. I sleep really well on it, from the first day. Do over...I would have spent a few more dollars and gotten the 12" mattress, though the 8" is fine. it just visually looks kinda thin. I put the boxes on top of the frame to insure the foam didn't seep into the spaces of the frame. I took pics. of the process.

    Very pleased with this product

    By now it's been 2 months since I bought, assembled and have been using this bed. I have no complaints at all. In fact I love the bed. It was very easy to assemble, light to carry and extremely functional. I'm an overweight woman sleeping alone on this bed and I truly love it. I was looking for a bed with two goals in mind: 1) To raise my mattress from the floor, and 2) To get a bed that was affordable and easy to handle (assemble, disassemble and carry around) by a single woman. I accomplished my goals with this product. Highly recommended!

    Great mattress foundation!

    The slats to my wooden bed cracked in my bed, fell through the wooden bed. I bought this bed frame- hoping that it would hold the mattress into place underneath my wooden frame. It did! It was easy to put together, and it's now very firm. I was lucky because it just fit. It had like a centimeter to spare.
