ZINUS Wen Deluxe Wood Platform Bed Frame, Solid Wood Foundation, Wood Slat Support, No Box Spring Needed, Easy Assembly, King

I was very hesitant to order this bed, for a lot of reasons. Some of which are that these "assemble yourself" furniture things have, in the past (NOT Zinus), have been very difficult to assemble. Things like missing parts, missing instructions (!) (you name it). Gave me a definite pause.Add all of this to the fact that I am female, and (how to put this?) "older", and don't have a lot of experience with assembling things (i.e., mostly poor experiences, as mentioned above) and that a purchase of this bed would make it THE most expensive single item I have ever purchased on Amazon - me, an Amazon customer of 20+ years standing - just about made me decide to give this bed a pass.Boy, am I glad I read the reviews (more than 20,000 at this writing). Reading the reviews, and looking at the rating, made me decide to give this a chance.The bed arrived in about three days on my front porch. As expected (I had read that the box weighed about 85 pounds - no exaggeration here!) I could not lift the box to carry it inside (it was just too heavy for me) so I laid it flat on my front porch (it had arrived standing upright) and opened it there.The contents was EXTREMELY well packaged - it was a smaller box within the large box. The smaller box contained all of the parts - large and small styrofoam blocks everywhere, everything was welll-cushioned, thus un-blemished.The small parts (fasteners, screws and such) were shrink-wrapped onto sections on a piece of cardboard, with each section labeled with the corresponding part number to the directions - as an added bonus, there was also a section labeled "spare parts", with a few extras of each. I REALLY appreciated this thoughtfulness on the part of Zinus, as this guaranteed that I would have all of the parts required.The instructions were simple - mostly all graphic images (pictures) of the step-by-step assembly.The reason that the instructions were so simple is that this bed is incredibly well engineered - the design has really been carefully planned and carefully thought out. Because of this, the parts and assembly pictures exactly matched all of the actual parts.Not too much guess work here - I had one or two missteps at the beginning, only due to me inexperience in putting together such things. After more thinking, looking at what I had done and comparing it to the instruction, I saw my error, disassembled this first step, and it was smooth sailing from then on.It took me about an hour and fifteen minutes to put this bed together, only because I had to spend a few minutes at each assembly step staring at the instructions in order to understand if I was doing things correctly. Aside from the first step, I was.If I had this to do over again (or if I had been a person with experience in such things) I'm guessing that I could have put this bed together in a half hour, tops.And I LOVE LOVE LOVE this bed! It is beautiful, exactly what I was hoping for (I purchased the one with the headboard), although expensive (for me) it is a quality item and totally worth the price. I know I will enjoy this bed for many, many years to come.So, if you are contemplating getting this bed, even if you are "older" and even if you have no experience in do-it-yourself furniture assembly, I would say GO FOR IT! When it comes, don't be in a rush, study the instructions, only open the shrink wrapped parts sections as you need them (and be sure to put the parts in a dish or a pan or something so that they don't roll under your chest of drawers and disappear!), take your time - and soon you will have a beautiful new bed.The only thing I would say to Zinus is that the photos on the page for the bed were poor quality (the photos, NOT the bed), blurry and out-of-focus. This almost stopped me from buying the bed right there and then - so, Zinus: better photos, more bed sales!Thanks for reading, everyone!! :-)

This bed frame was super easy to put together (one person assembly) and is sturdy. It doesn’t creak getting into/out of it or when I move around. The style is gorgeous and personally like that it is lower for getting into bed. This is a great frame for the price, definitely worth it!

This is an early initial review of the Zinus Vivek platform bed after having it for just 3 days. It arrived in a week in a huge heavy box. Honestly, dragging that box from outside my door to inside my house, by myself, was the most difficult part of the whole experience. After that everything was so easy. The package was undamaged and double boxed as you can see in the pic. Everything was very expertly packed with lots of foam padding and so none of the parts were damaged or scratched.The instructions are fairly clear although it is only pictures , no words which is fine. The only thing missing was that the parts labelled with letters (A,B,C) in the instruction booklet are not actually labelled on the pieces. Only the numbers which represent the order and connecting points are labelled on the pieces.Still it is easy to follow and execute if you follow the order exactly. All the pieces are expertly engineered, I was very impressed with the quality of the product for the price. Not just the quality of the wood and the finishing but that all the holes/bolts line up perfectly , the screws are able to be tightened smoothly and feel secure with no looseness or jiggling. Very well made. (Just a tip , when putting together the side running panels (STep 3) , when attaching the long side panel to the footboard/legs, it helps to support the other end of that long board on the cardboard box that the tools came in since it is the perfect height between from the floor to keep it horizontal , as seen in the picture. I'd be seriously impressed if they designed the height of the box to match that since that helped immensely if putting it together all by yourself). It all came together very smoothly and after everything was in place, it just felt sturdy and secure, no shaking or wobble and looks very good too. Kudos to Zinus for not just engineering a fine product but also putting lot of thought into engineering the assembly and packaging to make it easy.I'd highly recommend this product if you are shopping for a platform bed. It may not be the cheapest one on Amazon but it is totally worth the price paid and more.

This solid wood frame meets all aspects for a 5 star rating. Easy to assemble, looks great, excellent price and strong support. Would recommend.

Bought this for my 3 year old because we needed a head board that was on the lower side because his bed sits directly underneath his window. This bed frame is perfect. It was easy to build (disclaimer: I didn’t build it. My husband and my 3 year old did but it looked like it was easy. They had it done in less than an hour and my husband didn’t sweat once, so that’s a good sign!) it’s sturdy and my son loves his big boy bed. Truly Lovely frame. The colour is a little darker than pictured but it really doesn’t bother me. It’s truer in colour to the picture I added if anyone needs a reference.

Extremely well packaged to protect against damage while in transit. The instructions were clear and well presented. Bed is sturdy and doesn't "wobble" at all. It supports my memory foam mattress quite well.Very satisfied with my purchase.

Decent price and exactly what you expect. Looks like the pictures, easy to assemble.

I seldom write reviews.However, this product deserves an excellent review. If I could have given it 10 stars, I would have.The quality is incredible. Solid wood, incredibly sturdy, and easy to put together. It would’ve been easier with a second pair of hands, but I managed on my own.Looks fabulous and the colour is true to the photos on Amazon. Matches my existing furniture beautifully.Thank you!

I can’t believe how well-priced this bed is for what it is! It’s great, well made, easy to put together, has stood up to use for the past 6 months and no issues at all. Would buy again!
