We're very happy with the quality of this bed, overall.  After years of wobbly beds, it's nice to have something that feels fairly sturdy.  I think the stability partially comes from the fact that you screw in the platform slats.  It also looks elegant and just as pictured.  The only part that I think could be slightly better is the stability of the head board section.  It bends a little in the middle when you lean on it.  It seems fine for now, but I could see over time it might crack.  The nice thing is because it's real wood, we have options to repair it if there is ever an issue.  So my real rating would probably be 4.5 stars due to that slight flaw in the design.  But for the most part, we're very happy with it - especially for the price!
