Very sturdy bed. Took a few hours to assemble as the instructions were a little tough to follow, but with some thought and patience, it wasn’t too bad. If you are not using a bunk board, you will need additional mattress supports. It only comes with 6 per bed and that isn’t nearly enough. We used the ones from the twin bed we were replacing so each be now has 12 mattress supports which should be okay. Great bed for the price.
