Looks great assembled with a nice height which you are able to store quite a bit underneath. We haven't had any problems with velcro sounds or squeaking metal. It was quite difficult to put together as the holes didn't want to line up. Solved the problem by swapping around some of the pieces and loosely putting everything together, with one final tighten of the screws at the end. I will say the hardware was easy to strip and I'm sure we will not be getting this apart easily. It fit together nicely with a headboard also purchased from Wayfair.
