Very sturdy bed. Had the service put it together so no squeakiness. Nice look and feel. Was worried the headboard would be too low, but it is visible with pillows if you don’t use a box spring as instructed. Did need to get used to that, as it feels different to me. Couldn’t see using this bed without at least a pillow top mattress since it is indeed low profile, which I enjoy. It’s nice not having to use a step to launch myself onto the bed. Probably looks best if you don’t have high ceilings. Mine are pretty low.
