![Zinus 12 Inch Green Tea Cooling Memory Foam Mattress [New Version], Fiberglass Free, Medium Firmn...](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41iUftxoF2L.__AC_SR166,182___.jpg)
Honestly? Really nice bed frame for the price. The only gripe I have with it is that the supporting legs under the middle of the bed are made of metal, not wood. But everything else is solid wood.
I was a little nervous about buying this bed frame because 1) I was worried it might end up looking a little too old-fashioned, and 2) Before this one, I bought and ended up returning a black wooden Zinus bed frame (the Cottage Style Platform Bed with Headboard; do a search for it in Amazon's search bar) where those metal support legs, starting with the middle one, scraped up the hardwood floor in my room and ended up bending to the point that they were no longer totally vertical. I would like my security deposit back, thank you very much.
Well first let me say this Rustic Style frame actually looks quite nice and handsome. Despite the price, it doesn't look cheap in any way. The headboard is a good height -- doesn't seem to tower over you like Zinus' black Cottage Style frame (although I was using a mattress that was 2" shorter when I had that frame) -- and this frame as a whole looks better to boot. It also feels very sturdy and solid. As for the three metal support legs running down the center, I bought stick-on square felt pads ("Evelots 120 Self Stick, Heavy Duty Felt Pads for Hard Surfaces, Assorted Sizes") to stick to the bottom of the middle support leg and I haven't had any issues with scraping so far; it slides across the hardwood floor instead of digging into it, and because it doesn't end up getting bent and causing the center bar it's attached to to dip (the one that runs from the head to the foot of the bed underneath the wooden slats), the other two metal supports also don't dip down and dig into the floor. Fingers crossed this is a solution that will work permanently.
As far as putting it together, it took me a couple of hours, but I also had to take only one or two pieces at a time into my bedroom while I constructed it piece-by-piece, and was trying to stay quiet so I didn't bother my roommates. The instructions are relatively straightforward, and they have this handy numbering system-- each part is labeled with a number, and it's supposed to attach to another part with the same number, making it easy to know what goes where (the numbers are completely covered once the bed frame is finished so they'll never be visible).
Anyway, to sum up-- I definitely recommend getting this frame. It feels so nice to have a nice, supportive 12" hybrid mattress on top of a solid, supportive, nice-looking platform frame like a freakin' adult, instead of sleeping on a mattress on the floor.
Pro Tip: I've noticed this bed frame's price seems to fluctuate wildly on amazon at times (google "camelcamelcamel" and search for this bed frame and you'll see what I mean). Unless you really need a bed frame right now, if it's over $400, I might recommend waiting a few weeks or a month or two for the price to drop. I actually got mine through a third party seller on amazon, SleepRevolution, for about $290 at the time. Patience and/or diligence can really net you a good deal in this case.
