I wish I had put this frame together while still in the return window. To start, it’s about 3” bigger than my new full mattress, so you can see the bottom slats all the way around it. The welding on the headboard is so obvious even from a distance, there are big dots of metal at every connection that prevent it from being as beautiful as it should be. Those things I can live with though. What I can’t is the slats making metal popping noises. But only with subtle movements! I can flop around, change positions, bounce up and down and it’s fine. But if I shift my shoulder or hip just an inch, pop! loud enough to make me. Fortunately my mattress doesn’t require a foundation so hopefully removing the slat under my shoulder and hip will help.
