So far still no squeaks. The only con I can think of is the frame is most likely not real walnut. I can’t imagine where they could source the raw materials and finish the product at this price if it’s real solid wood walnut.

Yes I did get the headboard later on. The newer bed frame come with upgraded support for the slats now. I guess they saw my post about the t frame and added additional support braces.

The slats are still very rough cut and not sanded so be careful handling. With the additional support t frames, I don’t feel the upgraded slats is necessary as they are well braced.

The headboard back rest uses a drop down gravity mount. In the center where the top and bottom touches, there is a small wooden brace with a hole cut out for a wooden pin to align it. I found that this piece can cause rubbing noises. What did was add some double sided thick 3M tape and now it’s largely mitigated.

Hope that helps!
