This bed is heavy!   My husband and dad put it together in an afternoon, and my dad (who is VERY picky) was impressed with the quality - and how the slats fit into the frame.  We use it as our bed (I am pregnant and it is easy to get in and out of, and we are using our mattress only, no box spring).  The drawers are very wide (not incredibly deep, but very functional), and roll so easily!  We also purchased the headboard, and it's a very attractive set!  We are very pleased.
