Very solidly constructed and fitted with no noticable defects. Completely silent when in use. Everything seems to be solid wood construction, with no composite materials. Easy to assemble with no additional tools required. Very nice finish and wood grain pattern which pairs nicely in tone with my vintage 1960's modern walnut/rosewood inlay dressers and tables. It's a great platform frame, and the photos seem to be quite accurate as to what you can expect to receive.
