Great bed that was easy to put together. Generally speaking it feels solid and I like that it is made out of real wood. We have had issues with one joint though being weak. I think the quality of materials is good but the engineering behind how it is assembled could be reinforced. I'm going to add washers to where some of the longer screws keep the siderails and headboard assembled to add more strength. We're an average size couple with a heavy thick mattress and the one corner where the headboard attaches has detached a couple of times despite proper assembly.
