Just finished putting it together an so it looks beautiful. Definitely seems sturdy. The only issue I have (and I should have done my homework before buying it) is that with the boxspring, pillowtop mattress, and pillows on the bed, you can even see the headboard at all. If you are planning to get this, make sure you get an 8in mattress as suggested or get a thinner box spring. Otherwise, it looks great!
