Zinus Shalini Upholstered Platform Bed Frame, King, Light Grey
A stable, easy to build upholstered king bed, minus the footboard and with little storage space below.
We bought AGARTT Upholstered Platform Bed Frame, King Size, Headboard & Footboard, White Linen. It's no longer documented anywhere, so this page reviews the closest well-covered match. It is a well documented king upholstered platform bed with a tufted headboard and slats at a similar price, though it lacks the original's footboard.
The short version
- Anyone who wants a padded headboard on a king bed without a box spring
- Buyers who want a bed that ships in one box and assembles fast
- You want a footboard like the original AGARTT bed
- You need tall under bed storage
- You want a white or linen fabric
What owners like

What it does
A king upholstered platform bed with a diamond stitched, button tufted headboard and wood slats, reviewed here as the closest well documented match to the AGARTT bed that was bought.
- Diamond pattern stitching with button tufting on the headboard
- Wood slat platform, no box spring needed
- Works with foam, latex or spring mattresses, per the maker
- Tools included; maker says assembly takes under an hour
- Colors include light grey, dark grey and beige velvet
A sensible pick for anyone who wants an upholstered king bed that needs no box spring and goes together in about an hour. The trade-offs are that it has no footboard, unlike the original, and it sits low with about 7 in of space underneath.
