I was a little hesitant to order this due to the reviews about it squeaking, but I figured I could add in some felt or rubber pads if needed. After 1/2 way through the assembly I was REALLY hoping I wouldnt have to go back and add those because I wasnt looking forward to disassembling and reassembling. I am happy to say that so far this thing doesnt squeak. We were careful to tighten each piece just right (not overnight, but well secured), so perhaps thats where the squeaking issue is coming into play for others? It definitely takes more than one person for atleast putting the canopy piece up on the posts. Its a great frame for a really great price.
