Joseph Steel Platform Bed Frame - Zinus

I first purchased this bed in 2018 and was very impressed by its sturdiness and ease of assembly. However, when I repurchased it for another room in July 2024, the quality had significantly declined. Although the design remains the same, the materials do not. The metal is now very thin and lightweight; when I disassembled it for return, the metal around the pre-drilled screw holes was dented just from assembly. The wooden slats are also much thinner and lighter compared to the older version, not likely to hold much weight. Aside from this, the bed is identical, with the same numbered pieces and screws. I returned it due to concerns about its durability, and it sliding on hard floors due to its light weight compared to the mattress. Pros: - Low profile design, good for small spaces - Easy to assemble and store - No instructions needed for reassembly due to numbered parts - Reasonably priced depending on needs Cons: - Low-quality, hollow metal base - Very thin wooden slats, not recommended for more than one small adult - Slides around on hard floors - Quality has significantly decreased compared to the same bed purchased six years ago

The brackets for the center support bar twisted and warped, causing the center support bar to twist and become bent. This twisting caused the feet of the center support bar to damage our floors as well. I like the style, and it was easy to put together, but it lasted less than 2 weeks before breaking and we have had to order a different frame.

This was a great purchase. Just as it appears on line. Very easy and quick assembly = match number 3 with number 3. Has several thoughtful additions - Velcro, and tabs so mattress doesn’t move around.

I bought this bed during Black Friday and although I was happy in the beginning, I’m not so content with the bed. I’m a heavy person so my experience may be different from others. Pros: The assembly was fairly simple and easy to put together. It doesn’t weight that much to move the frame around. The slates have Velcro, which makes it stay in place really well. You are able to fit small items underneath the bed frame. The mattress doesn’t move that much due to the adhesive the slates have. Cons: At the beginning, it did not squeak that much but after a while the squeaking was awful. Getting in bed and out of bed, the frame would squeak with any possible moving. The bed frame would rock slightly back and forth which sucks. Overall, this is a good bed frame for those who are of lighter weight. My brother, whom I passed it off too, seems to enjoy it. It’s very easy to assemble and move around when needed.

easy assembly, done by myself. simple and sturdy for the price!

Very happy with this bedframe. It was easy to assemble Looks great, perfect for apartment. Excellent purchase!

Needed to pick up three of these for a new house. The hardest part was getting it out of the box. Directions were easy to follow and I was able to do this on my own, but having a second person would help move it along. The first one took me a little while, but by the time I got to the third one it was done in 15 minutes. Just takes some patience when you are putting the frame together at first. Quality is good, all parts including a cute little wrench were included.

It’s so easy to put together and super simple and pretty!!

Easiest instructions to follow if you’re not a handy person and doesn’t take long to assemble at all! Loving it so far, hopefully it holds up long.

Horrible target would not recommend to anyone

well packaged, great weld, light weight, love the tools included, bolts fit properly, has proper padding so slat does not rub with metal and slats has velcro so it stays in place. bed does not move/slip because it has a non slip pad, easy to assemble (just line up the numbers) very sturdy, no squeacking when you rock and jiggle the bed LOL! overall, 5 stars!

This bed was very easy to set up and makes little to no noise at all. Win win

Very easy to put together and definitely sturdy.! No cracking noises anymore and simplistic but nice

Love the height and the easy assembly

Everything fits together perfectly if you follow the instructions, with all the bolt holes lining up properly. It doesn't try to be more than it is - a sturdy, lightweight, basic frame. It's light enough to be easy to move for cleaning under it, but stays put when in use. The included ratchet was a nice touch and works better than 99% of the useless tools most manufacturers include (this one is really useful since you can use it with any bit - keep it around for use on other projects). The packaging was another impressive part - it was really well packaged without being overdone.

I really liked how easy this was to put together and take apart. Great for when you are moving often! We got a broken piece and requested they sent a replacement and they sent the wrong one and then finally sent them right one! I also wish we got a little higher than the 10 inches. One thing I didn’t consider when buying was the bottom bars all around the bed. This makes it hard to vacuum under or slide something under or go under if needed. It also has caused stubbed toes a few times! I like the sticky tape that comes with the wooden boards for the bed to stay, but honestly it is kind of annoying because once it is stuck it’s hard to shift. I also feel like for side-sleepers it might be a little firm

Super easy to assemble, and sturdy. I’m very happy with this bed. Great value.

We LOVE our mattress! We went on vacation and our Air BnB had this mattress. We loved it so much we asked our hosts what it was and went online and bought one immediately so it would be waiting on us when we got home. It's thw best--perfect firmness, coolness, comfort. Cannot recommend enough!

Have not used it yet because I am missing a supporting side support number 7/8. Not sure if the frame will be supportive enough without it

Even though it appeared simple. There were zero instructions except for 4 to 6 pictures. The bars would not line up on several pieces. I am disappointed to say the least. To big to send back and it took too much time to try and get it to fit. Nothing to it in quality and not worth the price. It's at my dumpster sadly.
