I researched and researched and researched (literally hours on the internet) -  and this is one of the least expensive bed frames you can buy that is free from toxins.  Not only does it state it in the Specifications tab on the product page, but true to their word, no sensitivities at all to this bed frame (and I am sensitive to EVERYTHING).  It could be sturdier, but once you get your bed on it, it seems to "even" out.  The color of the gray is on the lighter side which pleased me immensely.  Easy to put together, but better with someone (I am 52 and did it all by myself).
