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.

The frame is easy to set up, sturdy, and we are pleased. We are playing musical beds in our small condo...and I have yet to make a mattress selection. I know it won't be foam, so I hope it can lay directly on this frame. I think we will get rid of the king mattress and buy another twin frame as two twins make a master size. That is, if we can have the same price we paid for the one delivered. With back injury, any motion from another person is painful. I prefer two twin frames to the larger connected size as it gives more options down the road.

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!!

I love my 18'' smart base. I live in a studio in NYC and this base its perfect because I have plenty of space underneath for storage. its so simple to put together and is well built. I have an 10'' Inspiration Full size mattress by Signature Sleep. Best deal I have ever got from both company. Thank you both.

This frame is wonderful! We live in a small house and storage is always a problem. Our new bed frame has so much room underneath for storage. I love how tall the bed is for allowing this extra storage and also how nice if feels to sleep higher up! Also, our existing mattress, which we like very much, feels even better with such a great foundation! It came in a box and was easy to setup. My 12 year old son and his 10 year old friend set the bed frame up in a few minutes. I may buy another frame for my kids to use in their rooms. These are perfect frames for all ages!

This is our 5th Zinus mattress foundation purchase and we do think they're primary function is to help solve storage issues. And for that, they are superior. I just wish that before people make the purchase that there is some honest communication between manufacturer and buyers that this foundation will make your current mattress more firm. It does take a few nights to get used to. We had a firm mattress to begin with, and now it is very very firm. But we are still very glad with our purchase and obviously with 5 of the frames now in our home, much more pleased with how much extra storage area they have provided.

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.

I’m in love with my new mattress and frame. I purchased the green tea and 18” frame. First it was SO easy to put together, second it looks fabulous, and third I haven’t slept this good in ten years! I love how high the bed is with the frame (I’m 5’11”) and how much storage I can place underneath. I’ll be a customer for life!

Read the reviews and sounded like a steal for the price. We ordered this to have a decent bed in our spare bedroom and now our two teenage kids won't sleep in their bed as they take turns sleeping in the spare bedroom. Needless to say, the whole family loves the mattress. Will be getting more in the future

I love my mattress and frame! The whole assembly process was super easy. However, I bought the 10 inch and I think I would rather have gotten a 12. I love a very soft bed. The 10 inch is fantastic for people who want an in between feel. But overall, I am happy with my purchase.
