I let my 6'4" husband convince me to get a 16" bed frame, and I'll be honest, it's a little too high for me (5'6").  If you're under 6' tall, consider a 14" frame instead - that 2" makes a difference. The Ackerman bed frame is great; solid and no squeaks or noise. The 16" frame also needs a bed skirt to hide any underbed storage. Overall, this is a solid buy and good choice in bed frames.
