Love this bed frame! I am short (just barely 5ft) and have always had beds that make me feel like a child climbing into a "big kid" bed. For the first time I can sit at the edge of my bed to put my socks on without a dramatic hop up! I probably could have put the bed together on my own, but with help from a second person it was done super quickly with ease. Bedframe is sturdy, attractive, and no squeaking ;) Highly recommend
