Premium SmartBase 4 Extra Inches high for Under-bed Storage/Mattress Foundation/Platform Bed Frame/Box Spring Replacement/Quiet Noise-Free, Queen, Black (OLB-SB13-18Q)

For reference, I've owned this bed frame for almost 5 years. I came back to write a review because I like it so much. Pros: - easy to install - I love the recessed feet so you don't bang your toes on them. I've never hit my toe on the feet of this bed. - extremely sturdy. We have a full latex mattress that weighs over 200 lb in addition to both me and my wife sleeping on the bed. It's never bent or deformed in any way. - The underbed storage is great. There is plenty of room Cons: - I haven't found one yet Is it a decent value for the money? Absolutely. This would be my go-to if I ever needed a new bed frame. Is it durable or decent quality? Very much so. It's less expensive then many others but feels top-notch. Is it easy to use? Very easy to put together and set up. Does it match the description/photos? Yes. It looks very nice and just like the description photos. Color was exactly what I thought it would be. Does the bed slide on the frame? Surprisingly, not at all.

I’ve bought other frames before for more money and even had wood slates, that didn’t hold up as good as this one. I did a lot of research this go around, and found this one on many lists as a quiet and durable bed frame-which was a concern for me. Have had it for 4 months now and zero sound or squeak when getting in or out or moving around. I bought the heavy duty even though at 145lbs I could have saved a little and bought the regular. What I was most surprised at first glance was how thin the frame looked out of the box and how lightweight it was. I thought I had made a mistake with this one, but I was proven wrong. It’s incredibly sturdy. The matress does not move around. The frame stays in place but can be moved without a lot of pressure if I need to clean underneath. It was so easy to put together, also. Literally snaps into place and a few screws tightened. Took about 10min or less. I love that there is storage space under my bed now also. A really great quality purchase.

I will write a full review of this bed frame after I have used it for a while but wanted to give a preliminary review first. I've had it for about a month before setting it up (waiting to get a new mattress and get rid of my futon), so it's been in the box which was on the large side but was able to tuck it away in my kitchen for a few weeks. I live on the third floor of an apartment building and while the box was a bit bulky and heavy, I was able to get it up to my apartment by myself with no problem. I'm a big girl with a not-so-great back, but it was definitely manageable. Having forgotten anything I read in the reviews about assembly, I was expecting a cumbersome set-up job with a lot of little parts and pieces and metal clanging around as I jostled this frame around my tiny little one-room apartment. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the frame consists of two separate pieces that fold out, and are then joined together by two screws in the middle. THAT IS IT!! Putting it all together took me about 20 minutes. Probably would have been less if I had more room and wasn't having to rearrange other furniture almost every step of the way. I have my new mattress set-up on the frame and expanding now (I got a Tuft and Needle original mattress which is a little longer than the frame, so not sure if that's a frame issue or mattress issue, but hardly noticeable) and was impressed with how easy it was to move the frame during the unboxing of the mattress and how lightweight it is. I am honestly a little apprehensive about the two pieces of the frame staying together with two screws as the butterfly bolts don't screw as tightly as I would like. I anticipate maybe having to find a washer or nut or something else to just make sure the fastener doesn't come off, but that's super easy so I'm not too worried about it. I did really appreciate that the hardware (two long screws and two butterfly bolts) came in a package together so it was easy to set them aside and not have to worry about them flying around. Oh! I also really appreciate that the frame came with two non-slip pads that are often used for carpets. That will hopefully help prevent the mattress from slipping off the frame. The storage capacity underneath this frame is AMAZING! Because there are two braces in the middle of each section, the storage underneath is in two sections divided horizontally but I can fit so much stuff under just one section because of the height which I am loving in my small apartment. The stuff from under my futon is now under ONE section of this frame, leaving me so much more room to store things that have been getting in the way. I will give it a full review after sleeping on it for about a week, but I'm optimistic that I will be highly satisfied! ****UPDATED REVIEW**** Two years later I am back to finally update this review! And two years later I am still 100% satisfied with this bed frame! When I moved last summer (Aug. 2020), taking this apart on moving day was a snap and it took me five minutes to set it up at my new place. I had previously been worried about the two screws joining the sections coming loose but that has been a non-issue in the last two years. I eventually added a bed skirt to help conceal the totes and things I have underneath, but the storage space has been such a game-changer for me, even when I moved to a bigger apartment. The frame is super quiet and holds up with some company in the bed, so no complaints there! ; ) I really cannot recommend this frame enough, it is one of the best Amazon purchases I have made. If you're looking for something sturdy, easy to put together (seriously only like FOUR PIECES in total!), excellent under-bed storage, and durable, GET THIS FRAME!

EDIT 2: Feb 2019 I've had this frame for well over a year at this point, and it's still fantastic. I've moved, and disassembly/reassembly literally takes seconds. Still as sturdy (and COMPLETELY SILENT) as the day I bought it. However! The price has nearly doubled! I purchased this frame at something like $110 taxes in. Now I see it being sold for $200?!?! Do I recommend it? YES! Would I have paid $200? Not a chance. I would be looking at Zinus' own website, or find some other supplier if the price is this high on Amazon. This frame is awesome, and 100% worth having, but wow, the price doubling is not cool in my opinion. EDIT: 3 Months After Purchase Still no issues. Its still solid, it's still silent. Really glad I bought this frame. I may make a headboard or something when I have more room, but for now it meets all my needs and I love it. I just put this frame together, and I have to say, the reviews seem accurate so far! It takes 10-15 minutes to assemble by yourself, maybe less if you have a friend to help. Although the legs already have rubber caps, I placed them on rubber glides for extra support on my hardwood floor, and so far it feels sturdy and makes absolutely no noise at all. My only small complaint is that there was no hex key included in the package to help you tighten the bolts holding the two halves of the frame together, but since I have plenty of tools, it was really a non issue for me. There's plenty of space beneath for storage, and so far I'm very happy with my purchase. Obviously, if I have any troubles, I'll come back and update this review, but for now, in terms of meeting the product's claims, value for money, and ease of assembly, I feel this frame deserves the full 5 stars!

Easily set up in about 10 minutes by 2 middle-aged women who didn't want to put their glasses on to read the instructions. I found that the diagonal support pieces (that you have to swing into place and then tighten the wing-nuts on) were a bit stubborn - they seemed very tight and then suddenly snapped in place. We made sure everything was snug before we put the mattress in place. I've been using it for a month now, no creaking and it feels sturdy. My only issue is that I wish the clearance was a bit higher. The 18" model was about twice the price for the extra 2" height, so I decided to try this. The 18" would have allowed me to use my existing Rubbermaid 68L totes; instead, I made a trip to a local store and bought 2 kinds of Sterilite totes, alternating the 2 different lengths and widths, to use all the space underneath. Even these were a bit tight at the top, so I added rubber furniture cups under the legs, and that gave me just enough room so it doesn't grab at the top. Solved!

Es súper ligera y aunque solo usa un par de tornillos para juntar dos bases; una vez armada se siente super resistente. Además su altura fue excelente para guardar cosas debajo de la cama

Compre la base King Deluxe, para mi colchon King Size y le vino perfecto, le queda grande o sobrado al colchón por no mas de 5 cm de cada lado, ya con el edredón la verdad es que ni se nota y mucho menos lo sientes por que no te golpeas, el armado es la cosa mas fácil y practico del mundo, no demoras mas de 10 minutos en armarlo, el resultado es que te sorprende de lo práctico y resistente que se siente. Por último, la base es alta, lo que te permite guardar un maleta sin problema, lo que lo hace todavía mejor.

I have always just put my bed on a box spring on the floor, but I felt I needed more storage in a small living space so, after some looking around I bought this. I had, at first, been hesitant about a metal frame because they are usually so unstable and tend to squeak with every movement. I always slept like crap on metal frames because I am a light sleeper and need a good amount of back support. But the frame had good reviews and was incredibly cheap compared to more fashionable wooden frame options. Too my delight, I found that this frame has none of the problems I was concerned about. It's really light and easy to put together - essentially, the legs just fold out and latch into place. That doesn't sound like a sturdy setup, but trust me, it is; the metal is very thick. The entire thing folds together for easy moving if you need it. I honestly think you could even use it as a camping cot with a blow up mattress and something to put between it and the slats, simply because of how light and easy it is to move. If you're looking for a quiet metal frame with lots of storage space underneath, I'd absolutely recommend this one. My housemate ended up going with a slightly different model from the same brand and she's very happy with it as well.
