I really liked this when I first assembled it. However, after just a month, the poor construction of the slats became quite apparent. Two slats broke from kneeling on the bed, and about twice a week, a couple slats pop out of the holders. It is still usable, but because of how the slats are situated, it is super squeaky all the time.

The problem with this bed is how the slats are attached -- which makes it pretty much impossible to resolve the issue. Individual wood slats are attached by a plastic buckle in the middle of the bed and a plastic pocket along the side of the bed. There is not really any way to redo the slats to make it more sturdy or less noisy.

I suspect if you have small adults or children who will only be sleeping on this bed, you will not have any problems.

Pros: Headboard looks nice
Cons: wood slatting is poorly designed and breaks
