Great bed and very sturdy! There is a flat base that covers the bottom frame and the drawers (instead of slats) which I find to give the bed more firmness and helps to keep the bed from being wobbly. I pared this bed with the headboard and nightstands in the picture. Only issue noted is that the drawer closet to the nightstand will not open because they bump together and not enough clearance. Otherwise great for a preteen and affordably priced.
