This frame holds up great! I was nervous to ditch my box spring and rely on the frame for support, but this bed really holds up well and I've finally had a good nights sleep. Set up was easy and as a moderately athletic girl, I was able to put this together in under an hour (I also bought the headboard attachments and this is what took the longest to set up). The frame is made well, no squeaking as of yet, and sturdy. Add a bed skirt and the storage space underneath is hidden.
