I am so happy with this bed! I read on a few other sites that it feels unsteady, and I agree that it doesn't feel completely stable because the metal rods are thin and they wiggle a bit when you get into bed. I don't feel like it would collapse or anything; it's just not completely steady. I'm a little disappointed by the quality of the metal itself because for the price I expected something better, but I like the bed itself and am happy with it. I love the upholstered headboard, it gives a classy look without the price of a full upholstered bed and I'm not worried about my cats scratching it because it's only on part or the board, not the corners.
