Zinus Jessica Upholstered Metal Headboard, Easy Assembly, Queen, Grey

This summer I bought a Zinus mattress to "try it out" as part of a pretty massive move where I had to buy a lot of new stuff. I was so happy with the mattress that I bought the Zinus bed frame. I was super pleased with that. It looks good. It's sturdy. It provides ample storage space. The only problem was that my room looked really empty without a headboard. Going to furniture stores I was finding headboards for hundreds of dollars. I bought this one as an open box deal and got it for $60 delivered. It went together well and it fit perfectly. The thing looks really great and my bedroom has less of a dorm room feel and more of a "single professional dude lives here" feel. My price was great but I think the quality absolutely justifies it at $100 as well. The only criticism I have is that the screws that secure the headboard to the frame are incredibly long. Like, they protrude at least 2-3 inches past the leg. This meant I could have it stick out under the bed and cut back my storage space or pull the bed a little further from the wall. Not a loss of function. It was just a little odd considering I used it with the company's frame. I could replace those bolts with a quick trip to Lowes but it isn't really much of a bother. Everything else was pretty perfectly machined and considered.

This is the second product by Zinus I've purchased in the last couple of weeks, with the first being a queen platform bed frame. I cannot stress enough how absolutely impressed I am with this company!! First, packaging is phenomenal. No extra nonsense, relatively frustration-free, and straightforward. Second, the instructions - oh, the instructions - what a blessing these things are!! Parts are labeled in a way that you cannot mess this up: #1 on one part lines up with #1 on a corresponding part, A lines up with A on a corresponding part, screws and bolts are clearly labeled, ALL holes line up and are drilled all the way through when needed, etc. THIS is how "assembly required" furniture SHOULD be designed!! Next, the quality of the parts are clearly designed to last longer than a couple of years...MUCH longer. No issues with the paint, no chintzy pieces that feel like they're going to break while you're putting them together, etc. Finally, once fully assembled, there are no wobbles, squeaks, creaks, nothing. It simply works the way it's supposed to work, period. Finally, the value for the money is clearly there. With all things being considered equal, there is absolutely no question in my mind whatsoever that should I need any other furniture items, I'm going to see if Zinus makes it, first, and then order without a moment's hesitation. Being that again, this is the second item I've ordered from this brand and I am so thoroughly impressed with them, suffice it to say that I cannot say enough great things about them! If you are even REMOTELY on the fence about ordering ANY Zinus product, please let me put your mind at ease: BUY IT! You will not regret it for a fraction of a second, and I would stake my reputation on it!

The assembly was so easy; I got it together myself, didn't even bother with the instructions, and it only took minutes. I could also break this headboard back down into its 5 parts in 5 minutes, and it would easily fit into the trunk of any car. This headboard is softly padded where it counts, but the frame is rock solid. The rectangular metal tubing locks together with nice hefty hex bolts that are no joke. It will not wiggle; no matter how I try to rack it. I am guessing its over engineered, and that's not a complaint. The hex bolts match a thick hex wrench, and everything about this feels stronger than is probably necessary for holding the headboard together. It feels like a strong bonded finish; maybe electrostatic or powder coat; but not gloss. Its a nice muted matte finish. Its in no way delicate. My 60-inch wide queen headboard is a bit heavy, and it should be. The whole frame is metal. Its not light gauge either; it has real weight. The delivery box was deceptive in two ways; it was not shaped anything like a headboard, and it was a lot heavier than any wood headboard of comparable size. Given that this is a very inexpensive alternative to real wood headboards, I'm completely satisfied that this was the best choice for my decor. I trust this product to last, and I can see it would be easy to reupholster; should anyone want to bother. I happily recommend this product.

The headboard was carefully packed, arrived undamaged, and assembly was easy with one caveat. Part of the backing was hanging down into one if the bolt holes. That made it impossible to secure the bolt. I grabbed a flashlight, identified the problem and used a screwdriver to fish out the obstruction. After that, smooth sailing on assembly. The headboard looks great and the padding/fabric is better than expected. The bolts that are meant to secure the headboard to the frame were about 3 inches long. On a plain metal frame such as mine, the bolt extends so far in that it interfered with the mattress fitting down onto the side rails. (See picture.) Fortunately, we had screws from the old headboard that fit as needed, but had we not it would have been a significant inconvenience.

My bedroom set is a little more farmhouse style but i was looking for a sturdy metal headboard to match my new frame, so I came across this one. At first I thought the screw holes didn’t match but that’s because the thicker part of the pieces have to be facing outward, then the holes line up perfectly. I installed this by myself and the hardware included has super long bolts but it doesn’t bother me just be sure to face the ends toward the inside. I also added a thin foam square in between the headboard and frame because it did make a clinging noise at first now it’s stable and silent. Definitely worth the price and easy to attach and build.

Very well constructed, easy to install

Easy to assemble and sturdy, I believe I paid $76-77 for this before taxes and I think that’s a pretty good price! We really like the headboard! Check out my video. It looks like the picture too. Comes with spare screws too! I could see this lasting for awhile. It’s a simple style if your looking for that. It fits well on the back of the full sizes bed. The cushion is very soft too! I will say the material of the fabric might be hard to clean if you get anything on it.

Very nice headboard. The material is metal and is very very sturdy. It's very easy to assemble; my daughter did it by herself in 15 minutes. Only thing is, if you aren't pairing it with a Zinus Jessica full bed frame, it may not fit. This was for my daughters' bed, and she only had a bed frame. The headboard is a bit too tall, so you can see the wall peeking out between the bed and the bottom of the headboard. The pillows cover it up nicely though. We didn't use any brackets to pair the bed and headboard together, and it seems to work fine. All we did was lean the headboard against the wall with the bed pushed up against it. People are saying if you do pair the Zinus Jessica frame with the headboard, it doesn't give you brackets to do so. I don't know if this is right, but there was also a package of nails in the box that we didn't use, so I'm wondering what those are for. They're probably for the brackets but the brackets themselves don't come in them. Hope this helped!

I can’t believe the excellent quality of this headboard. I thought for the price it would be good but probably a little flimsy. NOT AT ALL. The quality is just as good as something I’ve bought in the past for way more money. It’s very strong, easy to assemble. Every piece comes wrapped. Directions are so simple a child could do it. Every hole is numbered. It’s dummy proof really. And to top it off...it looks great!!!

1) delivery earlier than expected 👍 2) well packaged - no dent, no scratch 👍 3) decent quality - quite well made 👍 4) clear instructions and easy to assemble 👍 5) a nice thank-you card from the supplier was included Highly recommend this product.
