Looking for a bed frame with wooden slats ontop that doesn't squeak, 16in tall. Everything seems shorter or poorly made

I prefer one that could hold a mattress about 16in up (with or without board under, i can get a board separate). Do you have a suggestion for one that won't Creek? The reviews for the ones I've found say many have thin metal or the joints with screws aren't well done and they warp or creek so I'm not sure what to look at

    As far as metal beds go, we've had this one for probably around 20 years and it's a very sturdy design with wood slats that were quiet for many years: https://isonair.com/products/min-bed-alualu-wood-headboard?variant=53409969799497

    The Design Within Reach chain of furniture stores used to carry them, but don't appear to any longer. That link says they do free shipping to US, Canada, and Europe, but I'm not familiar with the site.

    However, if I'm understanding your requirements correctly, it's not as tall as you're looking for. The mattress sits about 9.5 to 10 inches off the ground.

    Either way, I have to tell you that wooden slats don't stay quiet forever. A few years ago ours started to creak a little sometimes when I get on and off the bed, but it seems to be worse on my side because I'm heavier than my wife. I think this is to be expected with wooden slats, wooden floors, etc. Perhaps replacing them with new ones would make it quiet again.
