Received my bed on the shipping date announced... Bed is well engineered, which makes it fast (about 30 to 35 min) and easy to assemble. All bed parts arrived stashed neatly in the headboard  zipper compartment (my new hiding place.. wink wink), 
One assembled and mattress was placed ... jumped into bed for a quick try out and to my delight... not a single squeak was heard ! Overall quite happy with the bed ... only thing that concerns me a bit is that the wood side mounting rail for the cross slats... split in several of the location where I drove the slats securing screws. 
Mmm hope that doesn't come back to haunt me.
