Not very beefy. All the parts are thin. However, it does look nice all put together. I wanted a king frame that was fully upholstered gray and a lift up for underneath storage. My options were very limited. It was easy to put together for my husband and I. All the parts were there and instructions were mostly clear. The lifts are strong, which is important. The wood slats which support the mattress are wimpy and won't provide proper mattress support. This is easily remedied by adding a 76" x 80" x 1/4" plywood sheet over the slates. I stuck black contact paper over the plywood to make a smooth surface for the mattress to rub on. I am happy with the end results after modification, and feel I received what I paid for, $305. Can't expect too much for a King frame at that price.
