The bed seems to be well made and sturdy! a few things: this bed is extremely low. it almost feels like you are sleeping on the ground. we are interested in getting a box spring now anyways because it's a bit lower to the ground than we wanted or expected. My biggest complaint is that the way the bed is set up, it leaves a gap between the wall and the mattress. So your pillow gets pushed back between the mattress and he wall.If this isn't a big deal to you, then you're fine, as again, the bed seems sturdy, heavy and well-made.
