Love the look of the bed and it seems to be very sturdy.  A bit of a challenge to put together as my husband had to drill out some of the holes to accommodate the screws, plus one of the caps for the bed's leg was cracked and unusable.   I sent a message to the manufacturer and hope they will provide a replacement.   We also decided to purchase a box spring, but that is more of a personal choice as we would like the bed to be a bit higher.  Overall I would purchase again -  nice addition to our spare bedroom.
