I was a little afraid to trust the metal bed frame and wood pieces that came with the bed at first, because I am not a skinny girl at all. Lol ….but I must  say it’s been about a month or so now since I purchased, and the quality of the bed is amazing. The black metal frame pieces that the wood pieces actually sit on is VERY sturdy, and it makes it where your not solely relying on the weak wood pieces alone for support, and that was a plus for me with this purchase. The bed itself is absolutely BEAUTIFUL! Great purchase!
