It is NOT STURDY. It came with 3 support beams when it needed 5, so my husband and I had to spend $100 in lumber to build legs, add beams and particle board. If you buy a box spring it’s too tall and you can’t see the headboard. You have to add particle board to put a bed skirt on to go under the mattress.  Total investment ended up $450 to make it sturdy enough for a teenager.
