I was EXTREMELY skeptical to buy a bed offline from Amazon. Especially when the price is so cheap. Beds are so expensive at furniture stores. I looked at other metal beds and the cheapest I found was $300+ I bought a full size dreamcloud 14' mattress ( downsizing from a queen) and have been searching for a metal bed where the slats are spaced close enough to support my mattress without it sagging between the slats. So far this bed is great. It's extremely sturdy and very low noise. All beds, even brand new, have some kind of sound but some are very loud. That was one of my biggest concerns was the noise. I've never owned a metal bed and didn't know what to expect. It comes with surprisingly nice hardware and I like that every piece is labeled with numbers and letters showing you which is which and the instructions were simple and easy to put to together after you get the hand of it. It even came with tools to use but I always like to use my own. I definitely recommend this bed. I do recommend putting the no scratch sticky pads on all the ends that set on the floor if you have hardwood flooring or tile. Oh, and it came with rubber corner pieces for the 2 footboard corners in case you bump into them which is really nice!
