The bed sits super low, we feel like we are sleeping on the floor. I suggest a box spring purchase if you’re used to sleeping higher, hate that we have an extra expense now that we need one but overall we still love the quality of the bed so far. There is no noise or creaking. Also note the drawers are not on any type of track or hooked to anything, the just have wheels to come in and out of the bottom of the bed so they easily move around a lot.
