We absolutely adore this bed. Yes it's squeaky but it's made from metals so it isn't surprising. It is the perfect height for our mattress and is super easy to put together. It looks incredible with our other furniture and the headboard and footboard are sturdy, nice to look at, and feel nice to touch. My back and neck don't hurt leaning against my pillow now while sitting up in bed reading. Definitely makes us feel special going to bed
