This bed frame exceeded my expectations. The construction is high quality and eco friendly with no harsh chemicals. Not only was I pleased to see that it is made in the USA (smaller carbon footprint, no sweatshops), but as I scrolled down I saw that it's made in the same town as the finest University in the land and the one in which I am studying (go Dawgs!). The directions for construction were easy enough for this novice to follow, and it took me probably around an hour from start to finish. This bed is just the right distance above the floor and is not squeaky at all! Love it and highly recommend.
