This bed is beautiful (bought the Oatmeal color in king size) and seems sturdy. Shipping was also very speedy. The king size came with extra support parts so that helps with the sturdiness. The reason for not giving 5 stars is because assembly was a bit frustrating. Aligning the corners took a lot of trial and error and fine tuning and still does not look perfect. Just had to settle with close enough for that part.
