First Ill say this is my first nice sleeping in this, so I cannot comment on its longevity. I purchased this to replace one of those folding bases, of which ours was about to collapse and really squeaky every time you sat/lay down. This base feels VERY sturdy and has none of the squeak/ HOORAH! The problem, however, is that the velcro which holds the slats in place makes noise upon getting in and sometimes out of bed. I thought this might be because I am a heavier person, but I noticed it did the same thing when my three year old daughter climbed into the bed. So Ive essentially swapped one noise for another.
I will say the noise is, so far, much less annoying than the squeak, and wouldnt be an issue were we not sharing the room with our 9 month old son, who is apparently the lightest sleeper in the universe :P
Other than the noise, 5 stars! But the noise is a big deal for us. Ill update my review if things start to break down or if hubby and I manage to engineer a fix for the noise!
Sturdy but a bit noisy
