As many of the other negative reviews have said, my wife and I are both average size adults, but all of the wood in the frame is now cracked. The boxes shown in the photo are the only things keeping the frame from falling apart. When putting the bedframe together, many of the holes were not even drilled straight. The wooden post under the frame that us used for support was missing the hole, and I had to manually drill one. This might work for kids, if your going to give your  kid a king size bed.
