ZINUS Curtis Upholstered Platform Bed Frame, Mattress Foundation, Wood Slat Support, No Box Spring Needed, Easy Assembly, Grey, Queen

I spent 5 1/2 months researching beds. Due to space concerns, I was looking for something without foot or headboards. I reviewed products costing 7-10 times as much as the Zinus Curtis. I researched quite a bit over this period of time while I slept on a mattress on the floor, including many Zinus products. I'm not exactly sure what took me so long in purchasing ,but wanted to be sure I exhausted this.As others mentioned, assembly is pleasant. It took me 25 minutes, and I took my time. It was at my door 2 days after purchase. The box is relatively heavy, about 60 lbs.I've read all reviews on the web for this, the 2 stand out negatives that have come up were bed bugs and legs breaking. I did not have any bed bugs. Is it possible the bed bug complaints were because their existing mattress already had bed bugs? Don't know, though bed bugs being infested in the 4 padded frame rails seems slightly ridiculous. I took the chance, and it was the right choice. The side rails in the package were completely wrapped in plastic as well.Next, there are complaints about the legs. It is true the legs are of a hard plastic, though I did not get the impression they are "cheap." They felt solid and serve their purpose. It seems most complain about legs breaking because they are moving the bed. Or rather, pushing the entire bed across the floor on the legs. This would create tension on the top of the legs due to the floor working against the bottom front of the legs while someone pushes the bed. Doing this I'd expect legs to snap off, especially with a heavy mattress on top. Same with any piece of furniture with legs, especially smaller legs. When moving, get a friend and lift the entire bed. I haven't scooted my bed across the floor, the legs on mine are just fine.Not only is the bed solid, but it also "feels" solid when you get on it. Not the slightest creak/noise/movement. Imagine the bed permanently cemented in the ground, this is the the impression I mean when it "feels" solid.I am very happy with my decision to purchase this bed. Money wasn't really an object for me (relatively, I had a budget of 1K), but considering this bed cost less than 150 is such an incredible value. I was really drawn to the construction and aesthetic design of the gray upholstery. It largely exceeded my expectations.

Assembly was quick and easy, with all tools and parts cleverly stored in a zippered compartment behind the headboard. The minimalist grey upholstery adds a sleek, modern touch, and the sturdy wooden slats provide excellent mattress support without the need for a box spring. Despite its lightweight design, the frame feels solid and doesn’t creak or wobble. The low-profile build is perfect for smaller spaces, and at its price point, it offers incredible value for both style and functionality. Overall, it’s a fantastic choice for anyone seeking an affordable and reliable bed frame. I like how they added a spanner/wrench, amazing addition made things easier.

Product quality exceeded my expectations and the company put really thoughtful notes and took care in the packaging. Putting it together was effortless, it’s very sturdy, fits my queen sized mattress, no squeaking, wasn’t too heavy to move on my own once put together in place( I’m 120lbs with a hurt arm). Even had a sticky pad so the mattress doesn’t slide on it even tho I doubt it’d slide anyway. Good height once put together up off the floor and still has some space to put something under the bed if I wanted to but you can’t see it when standing up. No smell when opening it. Took all of maybe 20/30 minutes to unbox, put together, put it in place, throw the trash away and slap my mattress on it. Myself, my partner, and my two putbulls combined weight is about 450lbs and it held us all no issues, no sliding.ONE CON- one corner bracket that screws the bases together the bracket was bent. Could have been the way it was in the package or could have been me taking it out the box? Not a big deal I just hammered it back in place in two seconds and it slid right in where it needed to.

So let me start this review by saying this bed frame is excellent for the price, and overall I am very satisfied with my purchase. There are a few quality issues that I do have with this item however. So let's start with those before getting into why I think this is still a very easy purchase to make.So this frame is supported by four plastic legs on each end and a metal folding leg beam running along the middle for what I am guessing is just added support because the four legs seem solid enough. Here are where my chief concerns lie. Now maybe this is just my particular frame, but my welds on the two folding legs have some minor cracks like the person who was welding the legs had some vague idea of how welding works or they couldn't be bothered to sure them up before adding them to the set. I don't know what this will mean for the longevity of the frame and if it'll become an issue in the future. The bar alone did seem to support my full weight (200LBS) because I stood on it and applied a good amount of force and it didn't bend, creak or break.My next concern is with the wood that the slats sit on, again this could just be my particular frame but mine had very small chips and gashes (I don't think this will be an issue in the future because again it supported my whole weight with force and didn't creak, warp or crack). The next issue with them is more of a complaint rather than a concern, but there was also a ton of sawdust and wood flakes on them. It's like the person who attached them to the frame couldn't take a piece of sand paper and the minute or two it takes to grind them off (which I did immediately) and it makes even less sense when you feel the slats your bed sits on because they're nice and smooth. It's like there were two people assembling this frame, one who took the job seriously and made sure things were done properly. The second person just wanted the work day to be over and did the bare minimum.The next issue again isn't a concern but more of a complaint. Why are the side slats not deeper in the frame? They give you a piece of double sided tape to hold your mattress in place which is silly unless you never plan on cleaning your bedding or enjoy sticky residue on your bed (which would be pretty gross). They could have eliminated this problem by sinking the side slats deeper into the frame and making it a little longer vertically so your bed would sit in the frame and not on it.Now onto the positives, the assembly was super easy and even a little fun (that might just be me I like to put things together, legos were always my favourite toys as a kid). Everything fits together nice and snugly it all feels sturdy despite my previous concerns.The frame is also surprisingly quiet to the point where even with me tossing and turning, it doesn't make much noise.The upholstery is very nice and aesthetically pleasing, and there aren't any lose threads that I could see which surprised me again given my previous quality complaints and concerns.Finally the frame was well priced, for what I spent I wasn't sure how good of a product I was going to get, I bought this based off the reviews and I was not disappointed.So to wrap this long winded review up I am pleased with my product it looks wonderful and seems well put together even with my few concerns, as I have said multiple times now this is a great product for the money you spend and I don't think you can go wrong buying it.
