This bed frame was really easy to put together and looks really nice in our room. We wanted a headboard to help keep pillows on the bed, but we have a pitched ceiling, so we were happy to find a frame with a low headboard. It seems sturdy so far (we've had it for a few weeks), and completely silent. I give it 4 stars because it is of the quality you would expect for the price, and I don't know how many years or moves it will survive, but it is perfect if you're looking for an inexpensive frame to last a couple years, or perhaps a frame for a guest room.
