What owners say
The ten five-star reviews shown on Purple's page call the frame sturdy, silent and non-creaky, and say it stays put. Assembly is described as easy with picture instructions, though two owners suggest a rubber mallet for the slats or a power Allen driver. One box was missing bolts (support sent more); one wished it were cheaper.
