Wow, finally a bed that has been properly engineered! The way the support frame and legs are put together is a perfect example of how to make a bed that doesn't squeak. This bed is solid and very easy to put together. The instructions are very well laid out. What is nice about the slats are there are two sets, but until other companies that have small skinny slats for each side of the bed, these slats go across the width of the bed, one for the top of the bed and the other at the bottom. They have velcro on them so they won't move. What a novel idea! As well, this manufactured spent a few pennies and installed lock washers under the bolts. This way you aren't tearing the bed apart every few weeks to tighten up the bed! Great job and for the price you cannot beat this.
