Beautiful bed! For this incredible price, you have to understand it's not the most sturdy bed. But sturdy enough. We have a Cal King mattress and it's quite heavy, but so far not too squeaky. There is a very subtle "bow" in the headboard but not really noticeable enough to take the time and energy to swap it out. Like I said, this bed is very economical and you get what you pay for, but it's still an excellent value!
