My husband and I are larger people. It has always been hard for me to find bed frames that will hold up to my and my husband's weight together. This bed frame is rated at 800 lbs and it feels very solid. We've slept on it for just over a week now without any sense of weakness in the construction. I also like that since the platform slats are a separate unit, that if some break, we can simply replace them. A standard bed frame isn't as easy to repair.

My one concern, and it could be the mattress we are using, is that there are 2-3 inch gaps from the mattress to the frame on all sides where you can see the slats. I'm hoping that the new mattress we are getting next month will cover that distance by being a higher quality.
