All the tools and hardware were included and packed inside the zippered headboard. Assembly instructions were good but be sure not to tighten all the screws and bolts until frame is mostly assembled. I think it should be mentioned that a gripper sheet or yoga mat is necessary to keep the mattress from slipping around on the support slats as there are no retainer railings on the sides of bed frame to keep the mattress is place. I also suggest putting 1 foam pipe insulation around the metal legs on each side of the bed as a cushion to protect your toes from hitting the metal support posts.
We needed a new bed for our sons room but didnt want to spend a fortune. This one exceeded our expectations. My husband is a contractor and builds/ works on things for a living. It is rare that furniture these days meet his approval. He was so impressed with this bed. It was very well built, sturdy, and easy to assemble. He was beyond impressed with the assembly, the tools, and instructions included.
We actually just received a king size bed today by the same brand we loved it so much!
Highly recommend!
I rarely write reviews, but my 19 year old daughter that basically put this together herself said You have to put a review on Dad, this was so easy. Limited amount of hardware, and if i would of used my drill instead of the neat little allen ratchet wrench that was included, we could of put this together in 10 minutes max. Very sturdy and easy to put together. Highly recommended.
I just recently purchased a different brand bed from a different on/line furniture company. As I was assembling that bed, I kept saying to myself, I wish I got another Zinus. I am no stranger to assembling furniture or doing handy work around the house but the other product I purchased was a real pain to assemble. I understand why some folks complain about the sturdiness of this product. If you are using a foam mattress or a mattress without a bedspring, you really need to have supplemental slats (sells fabric wrapped slats that go perpendicular to the slats on the bed that Id recommend). The bed comes with a hand ratchet tool (rather than an L/shaped hex tool) that makes assembly fast and easy. I had no issues with the bed being out of alignment or feeling flimsy as other people stated, which means I either had better luck with manufacturing quality OR that the product wasnt fully setup properly by the customer (there are adjustable screws in the middle support feet that should be adjusted to the proper height and touch the floor). Also, as with all of these things, as you assemble, you should start by only loosely tightening the bolts, then prior to putting the slats in place, start at the corners and tighten the corners opposite of each other (for example, if looking at the headboard: headboard right, footboard left), then tighten the remaining corners, THEN go back and re/check the tightness of all of the bolts (dont go cry, but a relatively normal amount of pressure until the bolt no longer moves).
If I had to do it all over again, Id get another one of these beds and NOT the Novogratz that I purchased as a second bed. Prior to the Zinus, I had purchased a beautiful bed from a high end store on sale for about 1600. It was a great bed and I loved the design of it, but it was not worth over 5X the cost of the Zinus.
Dont forget to buy the additional slats (Annemarie Slats) to make sure you have a stable foundation for a foam or non/boxspring supported mattress. Theyre not cheap (especially when you consider the cost of the bed), but will help ensure that your bed and mattress stays in good shape for a long time.
I had to purchase a new frame for my sons bed and we ordered this one. Once we opened the box all the parts were zippered into the headboard which made it very easy to sort and what a great idea! My husband and son (13) put the bed together in less than an hour. So easy! My husband even told me that I needed to write a review! Would definitely recommend

Twin Size Platform Bed Frame
All the tools and hardware were included and packed inside the zippered headboard. Assembly instructions were good but be sure not to tighten all the screws and bolts until frame is mostly assembled. I think it should be mentioned that a gripper sheet or yoga mat is necessary to keep the mattress from slipping around on the support slats as there are no retainer railings on the sides of bed frame to keep the mattress is place. I also suggest putting 1 foam pipe insulation around the metal legs on each side of the bed as a cushion to protect your toes from hitting the metal support posts.
Love this headboard
I love the cushioned portion.
Simple instructions
Love this bed! All the pieces came within the headboard, very easy to assemble, back up pieces for future just in case. Clean look.
Husband approved!

Easy to assemble and Great Bed (if you purchase additional slats)
