Sturdy and easy to assemble. I didnt think through how tall my bed would be with my box strings included, but a low profile mattress foundation should solve that. No squeaking. What I like best is that, even with a king frame, there isnt an extra set of feet midway down the sides. Nothing for me to stub my toes on. Theres one along the bottom edge, but its recessed several inches and has never been a problem.
