Upholstered material is nice and seems to be heavy duty. The 3 rails to hold mattress that doesnt hit the floor properly. The rails make me think if you sit too hard, put too much weight, etc that it will break. Poor quality on that part. Exterior seems very sturdy. I used the Handy Service put mine together and it too them from 10:50 to about 1:10 pm to complete. Bed comes in 3 boxes, didn't seem that complicated. They did have to drill some extra holes as the bed was not properly aligned from the warehouse. Looks nice for the price I paid. Just want it to be sturdy. I will keep you all posted.
