It's definitely affordable, and gets the job done, but you certainly get what you pay for. I like that it's made of real wood, even if it's mad of softwoods. It also has a decent weight capacity unlike other similar bed frames. However, because the bed frame uses fasteners to affix the pieces of wood together, the wood ends up compressing and the joints become loose very quickly. You'll constantly be tightening the bolts just to keep the bed from wobbling or moving around. If you're in a pinch financially, it will definitely do what you need it to. If not, I would spend a bit more on a bed frame that uses traditional joinery or interlocking joints.
