My first impression of the Gene Metal Deluxe 16 Inch SmartBase Frame before putting it together, it seemed like it would be flimsy. The metal pieces are not heavy. After putting it together, it still seemed like it would not be that sturdy. I like the overall look of the frame. After placing the mattress on the frame it seemed like it was better. I still feel that it is not a top quality frame bed. It can easily move or shift with the mattress on it. Once the bedding, headboard and all the pillows are on the bed, it looks good. I do not think it shifts once sleeping in the bed. However, it will shift when trying to make the bed. The height of the bed lends itself to putting storage underneath. This is a great feature of the bed frame to be able to store additional items in storage containers that can be pulled out as needed.

I purchased the 18 inch premium smartbase deluxe platform mattress foundation. I have been sleeping on it for about a week now and absolutely love it. It is solid and makes no noise. My storage tubs fit nicely under my bed and they are 15 inches tall. Great value!

Fast shipping, super easy to put together, and it easily fit inside my current wooden bed frame that I bought at Ikea. Tall enough to fit stuff umder the bed, but not so tall that I need a step stool to get on the bed. Frame is quiet and sturdy just as mentioned. Comfortable to sleep on as well. Definitely was worth it to me, and I am glad I took a chance and ordered it.

This base is very well made and was easy to assemble. I bought it to replace a very high end traditional box spring ( for my new mattress). I wanted to downsize, have more room under the bed and obviously wanted a quality product that met my high standards. This product is as great as all other reviewers before me stated. I'd recommend this base,( any height btw )to anyone who needs it. I don't know why anyone would buy a traditional box spring when we now have a better option! I have the 18 inch with a 14 inch mattress, it feels and looks like a Princess bed! On a side note, I use a dust ruffle for my bed and will need to get something to hold it in place because it slips around on the base, ( I had to pin it) But, it is fine for now unless and until I'll have to rotate my mattress. The mattress does not slip on the base at all btw. Great product

Once I received my 18 inch smart base I was a little skeptical . Because it didn't look strong enough to me . But I was surprised by the strength of it . I like how it brings more height to my mattress and plenty of storage underneath . sometimes I find myself just looking underneath to make sure it's ok . Excellent work and it doesn't make any noise . Thank you so much and I am impressed by you workmanship and your 5 yr warranty . You definitely have manufactured a excellent product . Keep up the good work .

My Zinus mattress is firm but still cradles you ever so slightly. Your body sinks in a 1/2 inch or so. So far, I love it. I also bought the extra tall bed frame. I have tons of storage under the bed. I understand Zinus has a good return policy. I won’t be using it but give their mattresses a try. You won’t be disappointed.

At first I loved this frame. I reviewed it before “my frame soulmate” But it’s been 9 months since and it’s not so perfect anymore. It’s supposed to withstand 4400 lbs and yes I’m fat but not anywhere near that haha. It makes a lot of noise.. some of the screws are literally bent. The legs at the bottom were completely folded almost I was about to eat sht if I hadn’t moved my mattress in time and saw it. All in all it was good while it lasted but it didn’t even make it to our one year anniversary

I was hesitant about purchasing a mattress/frame online, without being able to see or test the product(s) in-person. However, once the frame arrived, it was SO easy to assemble, and I have nothing negative to say about it. I was worried that the mattress might slide off, because there's no lip or edge around the frame, but it hasn't been a problem at all. I only wish I had tried Zinus sooner!!

Frame came complete with hardware to assemble (no tools needed) wrapped in plastic in a 3ftx3ftx8in box--undamaged and securely tied. Didn't need instructions to unfold the frames (two separate frames comprised the full size we ordered) lock the legs into position and tighten, then bolt the two frames together. Took a total of 10 minutes which included opening the well-taped box.

OMG!!! I love my Zinus 18" full bed frame. What a difference the height of this frame makes with me getting a good nights sleep. It doesn't make any noise at all, and the extra height makes great storage under the bed. It was very easy to put together by myself. Zinus website has the best prices for this item. I will be ordering a queen size for my son. Thank you Zinus!
