ZINUS SmartBase Zero Assembly Mattress Foundation / 14 Inch Metal Platform Bed Frame/No Box Spring Needed/Sturdy Steel Frame/Underbed Storage, Queen

Le pense mucho en comprar esta base porque al ver la imagen y la forma supusé que sería una base muy frágil y complicada de armar. Sin embargo es todo lo contrario, no es pesada, se arma facilmente y es resistente, la recomiendo si eres una persona que cambias de casa constantemente, este producto es ideal. Asimismo te da la oportunidad de adaptarle una cabecera como un entrepié. El costo es accesible versus otras lugares donde vende este tipo de bases. La calidad es excelente. El unico detalle que le encuentro es el diseño dado a que pudiese ser solo una pieza en conjunto y no dos.

!!!!!!!Sept 2022 update: -Bought this frame July 2020 and I can honestly say it’s the one of the best purchases we’ve made. It’s still amazing. We’ve moved since buying it, and taking it apart/rebuilding it in the new place was super easy. I have no complaints other than you may want to add foam around the legs if you’re like me (I stub my toe a lot because I have terrible depth perception haha) but that’s not even a downside to the bed that’s just a me problem. A cut up foam noodle solved the issue fine! Also- my dog and cat spend a lot of time under it and it’s never once collapsed on them. Still holding up amazingly over two years later. Still no squeaks, not a sound. One thing I will recommend is getting a carpet for it or putting anti slip rubber things under the legs if you have hardwood, I just personally always recommend that anyways because I’m afraid of scratching the floor (we rent). Again not so much a product issue as a personal preference for precaution! TL;DR…. 2 years later it’s a great frame still. BUY IT! ((Original review:)) We bought this frame 6 months ago and it’s been amazing. I wanted to wait to review it properly. The frame is very tall so if you have a thick mattress you’ll find yourself up high like we do, but it doesn’t bother us. It worried me a bit at first because I was paranoid the frame would break, but after six months I can confidently say it’s very sturdy! Lots of space underneath for storage too, which is great if you live in a small space. The frame is silent, no squeaks or anything. Setup was relatively easy- less than 30 minutes. The frame comes with long sticky strips to adhere your mattress to the frame to prevent the mattress from slipping off. These work really well- almost too well, when we went to rotate our mattress recently it was really stuck on there! We ended up removing the tape and we found the mattress doesn’t really slip anyways, but the tape is really good for extra precautions if you’re worried. Overall this is a great frame for the price. Very sturdy, would recommend.

Moving into our new condo, we discovered that our queen box spring would not fit down the stairs to our bedroom. Having other nightmares to deal with as far as the new place went, replacing it with a split queen was stuffed into the backs of our minds. For a moment, my bf and I thought it was fun to slum it like we were in college again. For a time, of course, until our backs reminded us that we are a bit removed from those years. I needed something to sate us until we got around to buying a new box spring and chose this foundation based upon the reviews and the price. The general consensus is that it looks super cheap and that most who own it are surprised by its durability. Add me to that party. I carried it down the stairs with no problem and assembled it with even less of a problem. I am more handy than many and I assembled it in what probably amounted to an entire 90 seconds (if that), which is to say that anyone could probably give it a hard enough look and it would assemble itself well. It was really that easy. If you can flip your wrist, it can be done. After the assembly, I flipped my mattress onto it and dressed the bed. Still skeptical, I gave it a good kindergartener-intensity jump. You know, for quality control purposes. When my bf arrived home from work, he was also pleasantly surprised. I am a woman of average vertical measurement and perhaps slightly below average weight (on a good day) and my bf is tall, but of average mass. The foundation has stood up well to various activities, and I haven't even had the need to tighten up the wingnuts (which will inevitably have to happen). At this point, I really see no need to replace it with a real split box spring. I am a fan. An addendum: I write this a year and a half later, and am still pleased with its performance. This has since weathered a disassembly and reassembly in a move from the old place. Not only is it still incredibly well intact, but I have yet to hear a single peep from the frame. Not one. Our last (ridiculously expensive proprietary) frame was awful and being surreptitious about anything that may happen on a bed (like who doesn't jump on the bed and eat gummy bears?) was not happening. This thing is a ninja. I still love this frame.

La base de la cama es resistente, fácil de armar y no hace ruido. Me gusto que sea ligera pese al tamaño, la double tiene las medidas de una cama matrimonial de México, por lo que pude utilizarla sin problemas. el pedido me llegó antes

First, a little note. When people review stuff online, it's usually because they totally loved the product or hated it. Unfortunately, that doesn't account for STUPIDITY, so reviews should be treated with caution. Personally, my favorite reviews are usually 3 stars. They're usually pretty honest. Here's how I use online reviews: a) I carefully read the full item description, features, and specs from the manufacturer, and look at photos of the product to check for consistency. b) I read five to ten of the 5-star reviews to see if what the reviewers enjoyed matched the item description. c) I read every 1-star review and use a rubric that scores on: i) the reviewer's intelligence level (not even highest education received and I feel like I'm very generous on spelling and grammar mistakes, as I think an average fourth grader is still competent enough to rate most products), ii) the reviewer's experience level with products of that nature (for example, if I'm buying carabiners and the reviewer says they know nothing about climbing, then I know I can't trust the review), iii) whether the reviewer is reviewing the product or the seller (yes, there is a different place to rate the seller, as well as the packaging and shipping speed, but some people don't seem to understand that, see above for stupidity), iv) whether the reviewer read the item description, v) and finally, what they were actually disappointed about. This bed is exactly as described. I bought it to replace a platform bed with wooden slats that I didn't feel confident would stand up again after another move and my career field leads to lots of relocations. Field technicians in biology, ecology, forestry, etc. have adopted the phrase "bio gypsy" and for good reason. I read multiple reviews for this product and loads of other beds like it before I decided to take the leap. And leap I did! 1) It is extremely easy to setup. I took about 20 minutes, diligently checking that I'd securely tightened all the foot-supporting bars' wing nuts: first when the two halves were upside down, then when they were right-side up and finally after I'd connected them. There were instructions for assembly, but only a very very dumb monkey would need them. The support bars for the legs are very obvious and if they aren't, try to imagine any reason for the wing nuts, to which the support bars attach, to exist on such a minimal design. Also, part of those 20 minutes were also spent making sure the thing would disassemble as easily as it setup. It passed that test. 2) I've had the bed for less than a week, but I've been testing it pretty thoroughly (though not in the "active couple" way quite yet, that will be next week (; ) by jumping up and down and rolling and bouncing. I've tried to make it squeak. I weigh ~140 lbs (which isn't particularly heavy, I know, which is why I've been aggressively jumping to try to get a squeak) and I can't get a peep from this thing. There are no pieces of metal to rub together to make any god-awful noise. There are some reviews that mentioned both creaking AND squeaking. I may be wrong, but I consider those to be very different. Creaking would occur if there was some part of the frame rubbing another and squeaking is when a joint or contact point moves audibly. There is absolutely no creaking here. Oh, but wait, I should mention that I took about two minutes to adhere a small piece of cardboard (cut from the box) to each of the twelve feet to keep the rubber feet from squeaking on the hardwood floor. I would've done that anyway to protect the floor. Also, I placed some to act as bumpers on the parts of the frame that could contact the walls during grown-up activities. A little bit of foresight should go a long way there, I think. If the bed starts creaking after a few months, you should check that all the nuts are still tight. It is normal for those things to loosen up. 3) This frame is not an eyesore. If it doesn't look like a fancy bed for your master bedroom, then buy a bedskirt. It does look metal. And it has lots of under-the-bed storage space. That matches the item description and the photos. 4) There are no brackets for head- or footboard attachment. Those are sold separately. 5) My mattress doesn't slide around. I'm not sure why that's an issue for other people, and there aren't any rails or listen lips to keep it in place, but it's still not an issue. 6) This product eliminates the need for a box spring. Some reviewers have said they feel like the princess and the pea because the mattress is so high when they use this frame plus a box spring. Also, there is no need to buy pieces of particle board to add extra support for the mattress (unless it is a foam mattress with absolutely no support for itself). The thin metal wires are strong enough for the job. 7) I expect the frame to be compatible with some wooden frames (probably if made by the same company), so I'm not surprised that some people couldn't get this to work out. Check the dimensions of the wooden frame you want to place this inside of and check the product specs before ordering.
