I ordered a new memory foam mattress in a king size, coming from a queen size bed I needed a new frame or boxspring. This doubles as both boxspring and bed frame. Throw a bedskirt on this and youre all set! If youre looking for a budget friendly alternative this is the way to go, I would purchase this again and highly recommend. It is easy to assemble (especially with 2 ppl) and it is sturdy. This frame does NOT squeak at all.
