Our take on the Zinus Abel Black Metal Platform Bed Frame (Queen)
The Zinus Abel is a black steel platform bed frame for a queen mattress. It uses a metal slat base instead of a box spring, so the mattress sits directly on the frame. It suits renters and first-apartment buyers who want a simple, low-maintenance base with under-bed clearance. Against upholstered and wooden platform beds it is plainer and lighter, but it is easier to move and assemble, and owners generally report it holds up well for the money.
- Metal slat base supports the mattress without a box spring
- Steel frame with center support for a queen mattress
- Open frame leaves room underneath for storage
- Light enough for one person to reposition
- Simple bolt-together assembly

Questions and answers
- Does the Zinus Abel need a box spring?
- No. The metal slat base supports the mattress directly, so a box spring is not required.
- What mattress size fits this frame?
- This version is built for a queen-size mattress. Check the frame's stated size before ordering if you have a different mattress.
- Is it hard to assemble?
- Owners generally describe assembly as simple, with the parts and hardware included and no special tools needed beyond what is supplied.
- Can I store things under it?
- Yes. The open metal frame leaves clearance underneath for bins and luggage, though the exact height depends on the model.
- Will it squeak?
- Some owners report squeaks after a few months. Retightening the bolts and checking the slats usually reduces the noise.
- Does it come with a headboard?
- No. The Abel is a bare platform frame, so you would add a separate headboard or place it against a wall.
