Choosing this bed was a no-brainer seeing all the great reviews, and the simple-design and the rich walnut-look of the bed. This bed frame was purchased to be used with a new memory-foam mattress (no box spring). Overall, it delivers the look as shown in photo (rich wood color, sleek and simple lines), but seeing the quality of the slats & middle support, as well as the parts not fitting snugly in the construction my frame is squeaky every time I get on/off the bed I hesitate to give more than 4 stars. Squeaking is not a deal-breaker for me, but definitely annoying to use daily. For the price, I would recommend to friends for occasional-use.

I would add though that the assembly was straightforward and simple as two person job.

Pros: Relatively easy to assemble, looks great
Cons: Potentially ill-fitting pieces
