I can verify that this bed is compatible with the (heavy duty) Zinus Victor 9-inch bed frame if you remove the wood pieces screwed into the sideboards. With that being said, I think it's beautiful when assembled, but unfortunately very challenging to assemble for one person, especially if the headboard is nearly the length of the room. I'd say it's more worthy of 3.5 stars than the 3 I gave it here.
