I like the way this frame looks, but it started creaking soon after we bought it. It would creak when getting in and out of bed, or even just rolling over. For reference, my husband and I got the king size, and total weight between us is 350 pounds. We contacted customer service with no response, so we started troubleshooting. We took the mattress off and discovered that the slats are just cheap/flimsy quality and that they were not attached to the cross boards at every intersection. They were only attached a few places so the majority of the slats were loose and causing the noise. My husband bought some screws and attached the slats to the cross boards at every place they met (maybe 20 screws?) Since then, its been sturdier and no more creaking noise! Looks nice and sturdy.
It creaks but its fixable!
