This bed is really nice  if built correctly is sturdy enough to last. I seen a lot of iffy reviews and that’s why I came to leave MY honest one. 
First the bed took only 2 days to come, which was perfect. The assembly was fairly easy as I am a 23 year old female and did it while my toddler ran around. then the “gap” that others mention, is not big or effects the bed at all. It seems pretty normal to me. You do need a box spring however.
