The bed feels really durable. One thing that some other reviews have said is the instructions need some help it's oversimplified so that it's complicated. Also you should have a drill to assemble. While not required it will save you hours of assembly time with all the screws needed. Especially with the drawers. Also a low profile box spring is a best practice as a standard size would make the bed way to high and the headboard non existent. Good quality shipping was good as well
