I, literally, looked at hundreds of frames - and their associated reviews - from multiple sources before deciding on this frame. I needed something attractive and with simple lines so I could use it with various design styles. I decided on a wood frame because metal frames posed too much risk of squeaking. This bed is perfect - solid, attractive, and not even a hint of potential squeaking. The bed was delivered in a long, heavy box, but it was still easy enough to push across the tile floors. The directions were pretty good. The only clarification I had to find online was regarding the center beam. As an FYI, the fabric side faces up. In any case, I was able to put it together by myself in just a few hours. It would have taken less time without distractions. I placed a full-size 14 cool gel memory foam mattress on top. The frame has tape on a few of the slats to prevent a mattress from slipping; however, I havent exposed the tape and my mattress stays put. The beds height is perfect, not only as storage space, but as a retreat for my pup. I totally recommend this frame. In short, I love this frame!
