We absolutely love this bed frame. It looks great in our room and was fairly simple to build. I normally build things myself as I enjoy doing it (32F) but I did need my husbands help with this as it was just too big to hold the pieces together with one person. It does not squeak and is very stable. Only complaint as to why I didn’t give it 5 stars is that 2 of the bars for the end of the bed came in very bent. However, it was something we were able to bend back for the most part ourselves. It is nice to have a place to set things behind your head like our water and also has 2 plugs and 2 usb plugs as well for easy charging of your phones or watches while you sleep.
