It is very sturdy and just what I was looking for. It is a tall bed so at 5 ft I need a step stool but I read the reviews and was aware of this. This actually was what I wanted as I had one with built in steps that was even taller before. Just be aware if you are on the shorter side or planning to get this for a child it is quite tall. The materials are sturdy and the quality is great. Looks just like it is pictured with large sturdy drawers on both sides and smaller ones at the foot.  I use the smaller drawers in the headboard for my meds so they are out of sight of the grandkids. It took us several hours to finish but we did it and it looks great.   Will buy from Wayfair again.
