I bought this before having surgery for cancer. It's very heavy and Wayfair delivery is the worst. They don't even ring your bell to tell you they've dumped your delivery off. So make sure you have someone around to help bring it into your home. But,it was easy to set up,I had my son help because, again, it is very heavy. But that's actually a testament to how well this is made. I put a 14 inch memory foam mattress on it and it's handling it just fine. It was almost silent when operating it in the beginning,but now after some use it's a little squeaky. Not bad enough to be a bother. I absolutely love having an adjustable bed! It was great for when I  was recovering from surgery, and it's still great now that I'm healing and feeling better. And because I was unable to get approved for a Wayfair charge card,I used the Katapult option which allowed me to pay it off in 90 days same as cash. Which was an added blessing. I think I'll have this base for a very long time.
