This bed looks nice once put together and so far no squeaking. I am a single woman and put this together by myself in a couple hours but if you can, get someone else to help. Just make sure everything is tightened up before placing the mattress on top. I do like the velcro on the wooden slats. The back of the headboard came a bit damaged, torn and the fabric is held by staples. You can tell this cheap but after assembled it looks quite nice - I got it for around $160, I would not pay more than that. As I live in a rental apartment, this is fine for that purpose.
Decent deal
