Ignore the bad lighting.  The bed is very sturdy. Frustrating to put together since it doesnt assemble like most beds(the hooks that attach the rails to the headboard). Its all bolts and wooden dowels to fit the pieces together. And lots and lots of screws. Also, be aware that the rails and two long pieces that go under the slats ship in a separate box. I received the rails 3 or 4 days after I got the rest of the bed so I had to wait to assemble it.
