ZINUS Korey Metal Platform Bed Frame

Recently we were in the market for a new mattress......between Black Friday and Cyber Monday we were seeing some great deals, so we popped on a new King. But we also needed a frame, and I was not about to pay the $400 and up for a King frame from the Mattress company. As I scrolled Amazon I found this Zinus Mia Modern Studio 14 Inch Platform 1500H Metal Bed Frame With Headboard, King size. I liked the clean look it had, but I really liked that price tag! Under $200. So I popped on that as well. Today my mattress is arriving so that means it is time to assemble the frame. Right away I noticed how well the items were packaged. Besides the foam pads between the metal pieces, each Item was individually wrapped to prevent any chipping or damage done in transport. It also included A hello note, clearly marked screws, simple instructions and a little wrench. (Image 1-3) *TIP 1) Lay the whole frame out and sort as shown. This made for a quick assembly..and leave those stickers on...it will make for fast reassembly if need to move it! When opening the instruction I found a very simple layout of the frame along with clear markings of what parts where needed to assemble what. There are stickers located on each item, and the screws in the packaging are also clearly marked. (Image 4-6) You will also notice that the screw holes (Image 7) have a nice solid thread for the screws to catch to attach each component. Very impressed with some of the small details and the clean welds. *TIP 2) The handy dandy wrench is great for the awkward spots, to make it function perfect just hold the end nob and you turn it, if it clicks just push the tiny lever under the head, it will then be set to tighten. (Image 8) Once you get to the side rails, make sure you have the Velcro side up! This is what the slats will attach to once the frame is complete. Ours had no sticker indicators, But using the velcro and photo in the instructions, it was easy to tell which side goes where. TIP 3) When attaching the middle rail, follow the instructions and attach the leg first, this will make it easier to attach tot the frame. (Image 9) Once you have the frame fully assembled you can now attach the wood slats. These come in two sections and then are attached by a long secure strip of Velcro and staples, like a big accordion. Once you have them fully opened you can see which side needs to be upright. There will also be two slats that have a film to be removed to help prevent the mattress from sliding. Nice thinking! (Image 10-11) TIP 4) MAKE SURE to start the slats where the velcro starts on the frame. If you follow this you will then have the correct spacing between the two sections. I started at the very bottom of the frame, which gave me a crazy space, I then figured out the velcro is your guide on where to start. My total build time, with taking pictures and a few random text messages to the wife with the progress...Less than an hour and a half! My overall rating is 5 stars. My Amazon freight drivers where great with delivery and on time! The frame came well packaged All the components are clearly marked and wrapped with extra care made it a very simple build. No Tools are needed! The frame is extremely well built for the price tag. Once assembled the frame feels extremely secure and looks great. They even send extra parts (Image 12) I think this was a great buy, and will work with most mattresses, like our new Nectar.
