I LOVE this bed. It was worth the wait for it to get here. Looks classy. I had to have a little help moving the head board but besides that I set everything up myself in a couple hours. The most anyone part (which has been mentioned in previous reviews) was getting all the slats inserted. I ended up using the top of the head of a hammer and firmly pressing down on all the slat holders to get them in place. The bed is sturdy. And depending on your mattress I guess it makes no noise at all during special horizontal moments! That's why I bought the bed in the first place, so if you're trying to find a bed that is quiet for bedroom activities, this is it. It looks really classy too and materials are nice. Super happy! Sorry I forgot to take a pic with just the frame.
