ZINUS Patricia Black Metal Canopy Platform Bed Frame, Mattress Foundation with Steel Slat Support, No Box Spring Needed, Easy Assembly, Queen

I had to get a new bed platform w/headboard due to the drawers and no headboard blocking moisture and causing mold in my bedroom. I hated to get rid of it because it was solid wood and extremely solid but was left with no choice for my health sake. I saw this one with the four posters and attached headboard and thought of all of the creative things I could hang/do, so I read the reviews and was pleasantly surprised to find it had 5 stars and virtually everyone was thrilled with it. When the bed arrived, I was upset to find box looked like it had been through WWIII with both ends ripped open and various large holes ripped throughout the body of the box, I was not called to tell me box was coming, nor was I able to inspect it prior to it being left leaning over my apt door where someone could potentially be crushed by it. It weighs 90+ lbs and I am disabled Widow, but since I have a kid at home, both of us were able to barely slowly lift it and drag it into the house where it had to sit in my hallway for a few days before I could pay someone to come out and put this together. Fortunately, it was well wrapped and cushioned so nothing was damaged or scratched and parts were all there, but it took an hour and a half to put together between the hired help and the kid. And it definitely requires 2 people to put this together, one to assemble the parts and one to hold. I was initially nervous that this bed would not hold my weight, as I am a plus sized lady of about 240 lbs. but it is one sturdy piece of furniture and I love it!! It's like having a cozy adult fort or a swanky little tent in your bedroom or like something you would expect in a BNB, it's so worth it, and a great price! It was a bit of a headache to put together, so here's a helpful tip: gather all of the pieces first and make sure they are all there by group, matching them to the letters on the instructions, and then connect the frame pieces first after you have determined which ones they are according to the diagram, because the instructions go by number, but the parts go by letter. The pieces have number stickers on them, but the instructions are not so clear to understand. The pieces with the tape on them are for the mattress support so it will not slide off the frame. After all was said and done, this is a very sturdy bed, and it looks great with the sheer scarves and lights I purchased to hang on it. Bed aware that the bed is long, so if you live in an apt like I do, you may want to check the measurements beforehand, because I have a long bedroom so the bed would only go one way in the room, making the clearance to close the bedroom door just a few inches, lol. Other than that, I highly recommend this nice frame/headboard and canopy set. You'll be thrilled. Nice wrought iron steel, and good 4 square poster supports, and frame supports. Sturdy bolts and re-usable tools all included. Great for yourself, a kids or guest room, lends a nice simple, or stately touch. You will not be disappointed with the quality and stability.

This canopy is beautiful! I was able to put this together by myself, it took about 1 1/2 hours. It’s not overly heavy but still very sturdy and there’s no squeaking. It comes with the tools needed for assembly which was a nice touch. There is plenty of room for storage space underneath! The high ratings live up to the hype.

After two nights this bed impresses me! For those who don't feel like reading my rave review, it's sturdy, sleek & beautiful, and I recommend this bed frame to everyone. I have been in the market for a new bed frame for ages but I wanted to get something that would last, would offer me styling options, as well as functionality for a crazy little idea I had.Assembly was incredibly easy, I didn't glance at the instructions until after but if I had needed them, they were wonderfully detailed. Just go in order! Literally 1, 2, 3,... Each piece is labeled, and its connection is labeled. (Example: Part #13 is labeled 13 and the area on the pieces it's meant to connect to is also labeled 13).THE HEX RATCHET IS HONESTLY THE BEST THING I HAVE EVER USED, it made putting this bed together so quick!The hardware is not bad but a few of hex bolt heads could have stripped but I did tighten them extra tight, they do have lock washers on them which I love.I didn't have to use the rubber mallet but it was nice to have just-in-case.I have a sleep number mattress and foundation [essentially a box spring], and if I'm honest I think a box spring will help evenly distribute weight, prevent sagging in areas which would cause localized stress on certain slats, and overall ensure the longevity of the "slats".In using a box spring in addition to the 14-inch high platform + a mattress you will definitely be higher up but it's a comfortable height for me.My muscle memory hasn't adjusted to avoid the center leg (LOL) so I have whacked my foot a few times and it will do damage to your foot if you're not careful! So be mindful and stick some noodles on em until your body adjusts to the change, learn from my mistake and two fractured toes. So far, this bed is 10/10 worth the two fractured toes for me :P.I was slightly confused by the four slats that had nonslip tape on them, one because there were only four of them, and two because I wasn't entirely sure if they're meant to place in specific slots for maximum functionality. In the end, it didn't apply to me as I left the paper on since they would serve me no purpose with the style of my bed foundation.If you shake enough the frame will move, possibly make noise but I don't plan on jumping or engaging in vigorous activities...on this bed.Best of all, my crazy little idea worked perfectly with this bed frame. Theatre bed on a budget :P LOL!I'll update this in the future if I think of anything else or if the quality deteriorates but I have high hopes.
