How customer reviews and ratings work

Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.

5.0 out of 5 starsIt is pretty easy, all you do is pull it out ...
Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2018
This bed frame surprised me, the price being as low as it was, i was expecting something of lesser quality, however i am pleasantly surprised to how well it is holding up so far.
I purchased this to go along with my new King sized Lucid memory foam mattress in January, i am 120lbs and my boyfriend is 170lbs and we sleep with out two pitbulls 50 and 60lbs and we have had no problems whatsoever. I have not experienced any creaking and the bed doesn't slide or sit weird on the frame.
It came in a box,in time (2 day shipping), and although it was a bit heavy i was able to carry it by myself down stairs to the our bedroom in the basement. I set this up with the help of my younger brother but I honestly could have done it myself as all he did was help me pull the thing out of the box and cut some zip ties. It is pretty easy, all you do is pull it out of the box and snaps some corners together and unfold the frame and done!
If this helped you please give it a thumbs up if this review helped you, I am trying to get better at writing reviews.

1.0 out of 5 starsBig design flaw of this platform
Reviewed in the United States on September 10, 2018
This Amazon basics platform is doing it's job well as a foundation but has a big design flaw. The edges of the vertical supporting rods have sharp edges, they should be flattened or covered with some smooth surface. I just placed my brand new mattress on this platform. With just a little movement, it ripped off my new mattress at all the sharp edges making it's warranty void. Please think of this scenario before making any purchase or place smooth cloth cloth over the platform to save your mattress. I have bought a mattress cover too. But i just placed the mattress to check if it is fitting fine on this. But in the first attempt itself, it ripped off my mattress.

5.0 out of 5 stars Basic but Brilliant
Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2018
Size: KingStyle: 14-InchVerified Purchase
It's rare that I've ever gotten to say this, but Amazon finally got something right with one of their products. After reading reviews, I was expecting short posts, misaligned holes, broken latches, etc. It literally took more time getting the package in my house and unpacked than it took to assemble the frame and get my bed back on it and made. It was as simple as unfolding four auto-locking legs and then using two bolts and two odd little spacers to secure the frame pieces together. I was even able to toss my box spring.

This is a tall bed. Even without a box spring, the top of my mattress is now above the bottom of the window I sleep next to. I suppose I could get out a measuring tape, but that would take effort. Also, ignore the thing about this only supporting sleepers up to 240 pounds. Pretty sure that should have been 2400 pounds. I am a 360 pound fat boy, and this thing doesn't squeak, move, groan, anything.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sliding mattress issue - SOLVED!
Reviewed in the United States on October 31, 2019
Size: TwinStyle: 14-InchVerified Purchase
It's a great bed frame overall. It works exceptionally well with the Milliard Tri Folding Mattress. A perfect solution for a guest. It's much better than an airbed. As other reviewers mentioned, the mattress does slide a bit. So here is how to fix it. All you need is metal flat brackets, screws, nuts, and washers. All of that I bought on Amazon. The holes are already in the frame, so no drilling needed. Just attached the brackets to the frame and they will hold the mattress in place. When you need to fold the bed, you can simply fold them down. Please see the pics for references.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well thought out design for an easy to move bed frame that offers tons of useful storage space underneath.
Reviewed in the United States on November 16, 2017
Size: QueenStyle: 14-InchVine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )
This type of bed frame quickly became a favorite because they offer incredible value, easy movability and STORAGE SPACE!

What I Love:
— Easy to put together. The legs lock open and the two frames attach to each other with a super easy connector. No tools needed.
— Sturdy.
— Easy storage The diagonal struts on the legs angle toward the head and foot ends of the bed allowing for easy slide in/slide out of storage boxes. Standard plastic storage boxes, such as Sterilite's 58 Qt, 12.25" high storage box fits perfectly underneath. Eight of those boxes will easily fit under this frame with slide in - slide out ease.
— Inset legs. The legs are inset a few inches from the edge of the frame, so less chance of stubbing a toe. My last one had legs that were flush to the outside edges of the frame and I was forever smacking into one of them. The inset legs are not visible if using a bedskirt; the flush legs are.
— Disassembles and folds up quickly for moving or clearing a room for painting, floor refinishing, carpet cleaning. This is a great bed frame for apartment dwellers and other renters who move fairly often. Very easy to move. Much easier and more compact than a box spring.

What I Did About the One Thing I Don't Love:
— No wheels or casters come on this frame. I bought a set of those round furniture moving dots and put them under the legs to make it easier to move for cleaning, etc.

5.0 out of 5 stars Omg buy this!
Reviewed in the United States on December 18, 2017
Size: TwinStyle: 14-InchVerified Purchase
I have bought my kids several bed sets all of which they ended up breaking due to cheap materials but I have bought 3 of these so far and they have stood the test of time! I have a older son who literally throws himself on the bed as if it were a wrestling ring and this thing still hasnt broken! I love how easy it is to fold up and move too. No more taking bed frames apart, no more broken box springs or lumpy mattresses due to unbalanced support!

5.0 out of 5 stars is easy to fold up
Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2018
Verified Purchase
This is a game changer for us. Our storage space is limited, but we wanted an upgrade from air mattresses for our guests. This folds up very compact, is easy to fold up, and provides a really great base for guest bedding. We used it with the Best Price Mattress 4" Trifold Memory Foam Mattress, Twin XL, which worked great. Our guests (aged 70 yrs old) both said they slept incredibly well. Would definitely buy again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Definitely Great
Reviewed in the United States on February 11, 2018
Size: FullStyle: 14-InchVerified Purchase
I bought this because the Zinus one wasn't 2 day shipping and I'm glad I did. The set up was very easy. You unfold it, lock the legs, put both pieces together and lock them together. It took maybe 5 minutes. I don't experience any sinking with myself or two people on the bed. It also does not move or slide when I plop down (I'm 192 LBS).

I do wish it was higher from the ground, as most frames usually sit the bed higher. As far as a frame, I'm looking into seeing if I'm able to mount one with the Zinus brackets.

Great frame. I'm surprised I don't need a box frame.

3.0 out of 5 stars Solid but 2 design issues
Reviewed in the United States on May 2, 2019
Size: QueenStyle: 14-InchVerified Purchase
Well constructed and easy to set up but has two issues to be aware of. There is no lip to hold mattress in place so a light mattress or one with a smooth bottom will slip, which occurred with my full size mattress. However my queen size is very heavy and has a soft bottom and stays put.

The second issue is the side legs which are inset only half an inch and those are the ones you'll kick getting into bed - I do that nightly!

To fix the legs I wrapped them in bubble wrap. I still kick them but at least it doesn't hurt.

To keep the full size mattress in place I made corner "collars" that are the size and shape of the plastic corner protectors found on standard box springs. I attached the collars to the holes in the platform bed intended for the headboard.

For 2 cents the manufacturer could include some foam tubes and snap on plastic collars and if they did they would get five stars. As it is, they get three and I get the other two.

1.0 out of 5 stars Be careful with this bed frame!!!
Reviewed in the United States on February 7, 2019
Size: QueenStyle: 14-InchVerified Purchase
You need to be very careful when unpacking this bed frame, I have a really deep cut in my thumb when I was pulling it out of the box, there is a very sharp metal protruding exactly by the rounded corner where you grab it to pull it out from the box. This product need better quality control or else more people can get serious injuries from this. I was so mad that I wanted to post a picture of my bloody thumb but decided not to because Amazon might not post my review.
