This bed is sturdy/solid, all the pieces arrived well packaged, and were easy to build. The clean lines are modern and the center support for the queen size adds stability. Note, you are getting what you pay for with this bed. The stain on the side rails, and the beautiful reddish brown stain on the end pieces, don't quite match. Luckily the room I placed the bed frame in is pretty dark. Otherwise, overall an ok purchase.
