I was a bit skepital, as we have had a metal frame bed before and over time it rusty and basically fell apart. But this bed, WOW its incredible steady. Plenty of room for storage underneath which is a huge bonus. 
 The sections are thoroughly secured and everything feels absolutely sturdy and safe for my daughter to sleep on. She's had a bedroom makeover for her 10th birthday and this was was the pièce de résistance! Thank you Wayfair for delivering a high quality product.
