Zinus Van Single Bed frame – Bed 90×190 cm – 41 cm Height with Underbed Storage – Metal Platform Bed frame – Black

Super simple but sturdy bed.
Arrived in such a small box that I wondered if parts had been forgotten, but, once I took it all out and laid it out, confirmed it was all there.Im a bit of a girly nerd when it comes to building furniture and always lay everything out and check against the contents to make sure I have it all, then follow the instructions to the tee, subsequently, I built this bed, alone in less than 20 minutes. (including reading the instructions and counting out the parts) My husband came upstairs to see if I needed help, only to find the bed built, mattress installed and bedding already on.Every joint is number coded and every bolt is the same hex key size (which they provide a typical L shaped hex key as well as a very very handy little racket one) so its an absolute cinch to build.I joined all the sections together and only did the screws up about 90% until I knew it was all square, although the frame is shaped in such a way, that each leg fits perfectly into its matching shape. Initially I thought it was going to be lacking in sturdiness, however, nipping the bolts up to full tight the bed is now rock solid. Yes its lighter weight than a wooden bed would be and moved a little on the laminate floor, but once the mattress is on (which ours is really heavy) it stays put, yet is easy enough to pull forward and back to make the bed. If I wanted it less movable, I could stick a small bit of rug gripper underneath each leg and it wouldn’t budge.Its particularly good for small rooms as theres no bulk on the sides or ends, plus you can easily store things underneath. My son has the large plastic Swedish store trofast tubs full of lego and they fit under perfectly. All the slat parts are metal oval tubes, so they may bend (although they seem strong enough to hold significant weight) but they shouldn’t break like wooden ones, other than the two centre bars, the rest have nice little brackets they just slot into with a reassuring clunk. .Im planning on buying a nice headboard and fixing it to the wall (not only because there are no headboard holes, but also I find that even on beds that do have headboard holes, the headboards still wobble, by fixing to the wall, the headboard is solid when leaning against it reading in bed)Price has gone up by £24 since I bought it a couple of weeks ago, but even at the current price, its a seriously good value bed.*** it is now over a year since I bought this bed and its still as sturdy as the day I built it even with a teenager hurling himself onto it several times each day. I did have to retighten a couple of the bolts after a few weeks but haven’t had to since. Theres no evidence of damage, bending or rusting on any it. I stand by my review that its such good value.

It doesn’t squeak
Great frame. Fits together so easily. So simple on the instructions. And the tape on the struts to stop the mattress from moving is great. Have had the frame for 3 months now and is used every night as our main bed and not a squeak from it yet. It’s the best. We bought this frame so we can store the taller storage boxes underneath as it’s a little higher frame it’s not let us down yet. And the price is real fair.

Value for money
Size was perfect for my sons small room, very quick and easy to assemble. Seam very solid

Great high bed
Easy to assemble, although I thought I had missing parts initially – but that was not the case.Assembly didn’t take too long, and due to the height of the bed, great for keeping large storage boxes underneath.Would recommend.

These are only first impressions as I only just installed the platform yesterday. But I am pleased. It frees up a pretty substantial amount of space not having the box spring, which I appreciate both visually (makes the room feel more open) and functionally (makes it much easier to clean under the bed, and can be used for storage).Assembly was relatively painless. I give a lot of credit for them including a ratchet, rather than just the standard Allen wrench, as I found that exceptionally useful. The way the instructions are set-up is unique from my experience, but it worked well enough. All the parts are labelled with numbered stickers, but they don’t identify the part, they identify a specific *location* on the part. You line that up with diagrams in the instructions, e.g. that show a 2 and a 2 locking together. It’s curious that the numbers are not entirely unique, they are duplicated in multiple places on multiple parts, but with some light deduction you can figure it out. There aren’t that many parts to get confused with, and the shapes are sufficiently different.It is a bit confusing that the instructions have letter identifiers for each part, but the parts are not labeled with those letters. You’d have to look at the manual and figure out which letter is which part based on shape, but this is redundant since you can also just look a the shape of the part in the assembly diagrams. Anyways it sorts itself if you take your time. The parts fit together snugly and I have confidence in the strength and stability of the platform.There is adhesive on some the support beams to prevent the mattress from slipping around. That is useful, because otherwise there would not be a lot of friction between the mattress and the metal platform. Though this does make it more challenging to get the mattress in place. It might be easier if you had someone helping you to gently lay the mattress in the specific correct position (as opposed to me, working alone, flopping it onto the platform and then needing to fight the adhesive to adjust it to the correct position).I am happy to be freed of my decade-old box spring, and to have replaced it with something more space-efficient and durable. My cat ripped off the fabric covering the bottom, and amidst the wooden beams and springs discovered an exciting jungle gym for him to bounce around in at 4 am.

Easy to assemble, light weight, lots of storage underneath, modern design, reasonably affordable, slides a little bit, comfortable, good support, stability, and sturdiness is all great!

Muy buena base. Dependiendo del colchón puede ser necesario poner tablas o alguna cubierta para que NO se deforme el colchón.También la base es mas grande aunque diga queen, si eso puede ser un inconveniente para ustedes revisen bien las medidas ya que es un producto gringo y el largo es distinto a el tamaño de colchón mexicano.
