This bed is nice looking, but you get what you pay for I suppose. I guess there is no such thing as an affordable, QUALITY bed. My husband and I are not the least bit overweight, but within weeks, we had slats falling if we didn't sit on the bed just right. Now, almost exactly 6 months to the day since we put this thing together, we both briefly lay on one side of it, and it collapsed on that side. The entire support system along the edge that you attach the slats into fell out. RIDICULOUS. DO NOT BUY.
