The bed frame performs its intended function.  It is not loud, but very punctual. The design is slick and not at all cheesy. The frame is minimalistic but great when you don't want headboards and footboards hoarding your small bedroom Fearing that I would be forced to disassemble and reassemble the frame due to usual operator assembly error I was pleasantly surprised to find all pieces numbered joint to joint. The fasteners were all grade-5 aerospace quality with at least a 220 ksi tensile strength.  All bolts met their corresponding nut with precision.  But best of all a ratcheting speed wrench was provided that cut down on carpal tunnel issues when hand tightening Allen wrench furniture.  Lastly, the slats have an adhesive piece that keeps the mattress from sliding - neato.
