We had the 14 version for a bit but returned it: we needed more height to bring the mattress up to a comfier, easier getting in/out level. As before, assembly is straight/forward. Two people plus the proper adjustable drill/bit combo and a socket wrench or driver make it easier and quicker. FYI: an Allen wrench and nut wrench are included in the parts kit so everything you need to assemble it are included in the hefty box.
With our new mattress ( required), the 18 frame height creates the perfect union: just right for getting in and out of bed with almost zero effort and no disturbance of sleeping partners (spouse, the cat). No squeaks at all and the support for mattress and occupants has been rock solid. The frame being mattress/sized enabled us to fit it into a traditional four/post bedstead with just minor cuts to the bedstead side rails to accommodate the new frames mid/frame side legs. Result is a traditional loo bed with new sleep technology. Were happy and loo forward to many more good nights.
