It's fairly solid -- not as heavy as my grandfather's iron bed from the 1930s - and went together quickly. Paint job is A+ and the welds aren't too visible. It would be really nice of they provided felt or rubber bumpers or caps to protect your wall form the bolts that connect the bottom half of the legs to the rest of the frame (I used felts for chair legs). The main issue for us is that we have a high end, king size bed with a non-standard frame and the Alexis headboard is 1.5" wide so I had to use heavy duty zip ties to attach the bed frame to the headboard. Be aware that not all the king size headboards are the same width on Wayfair (likely because they're made in China).
