I was already overbudget on my guest room so I decided to go with this bed over   a similar white metal bed from a different popular brand that cost about about $1000.  I was basically preparing myself to be disappointed because I just bought an inexpensive bed that couldn't be that great,  but I was majorly surprised. It was straightforward to put together and you could tell that it was well made. It ks completely solid. This bed is impressively sturdy and good looking.
