I have been looking for an iron bed and found this website... so glad that i did because it was much cheaper here than in the local stores.  I purchased it on Sept. 16th and it arrived within 5 days... wow!  My husband put it together while i was at work but he did say that one of the rails was bent at the end and he had to hammer it out but other than that it was in good shape.  It seems to be a very sturdy bed and does not squeak in any way.  i would definitely recommend this item.
