It's a little flimsy, but it looks nice and for the price it'll do. Assembly was a little cumbersome. The directions are hilarious. Make sure you have a real wrench handy. For the life of me I cannot get the post knobs on properly. It's much lower to the floor than I thought. I'm considering getting a taller boxspring. If you have a cat, the fact that it's metal and not wood is nice, so they won't scratch it, but most cats will try to shred the upholstered headboard.
