These are the best beds to put together and be structurally tight. U can tighten the side rails to head and footboard so shouldn’t squeak. Slats had a few holes predrilled and all screws there. Only one issue missing one bolt hole In one headboard. But out of 6 beds that was only issue. This is a 10 star bed! (Will add better photos later) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
