This bed is relatively sturdy and I really like the antique walnut finish.  This was pretty easy to put together, a one person job.  The only issue that I have is the "headboard" is open, not closed like the footboard.  So, if you wanted to use this as a daybed, with both of the short sides visible, it wouldn't look right.  Also note that the side opposite the trundle is completely open so if you oriented this as shown in the photo the far side open with the supports visible.  I'm working on getting another footboard to use on the opposite side, at which time I'll be pleased.  You get what you pay for and for my spare room this is totally perfect. Great value!
