This bed is really nice and sturdy.   The leather side rails are very soft so if you bump into the corner it does not hurt !   The only thing that surprised me was how low it sits.  I think because my previous bed was so high and on risers that this was a huge difference.    I am getting used to it and starting to like having it low.   I would recommend this bed.   I would also recommend All Modern - great support people when I called to ask questions since this was my first online furniture shopping experience
