I love this bed. It arrived quickly and was easy to put together with 2 people. I probably could've done it alone too, but it was handy to have a second person around. I've used the bed for almost 6 months now, and have no complaints. It is not overly squeaky (even for a metal bed) and feels very sturdy and secure. I like that it's low, but not too low to the ground. It's a darker gold than some of the pictures make it seem (more like a bronze), but still really lovely.
