Frame seems sturdy and not squeaky so far. I like the design and it was easy to put together. The posts are a different color then the headboard/footboard which is fine just an FYI since it was hard to see in the picture. There is no back to hold the mattress/boxspring in place so they could slide back and leave a large gap by the foot board (the headboard is too high up to keep them in place, maybe they could have added an extra bar like the side has)
