It is very sturdy for sure and the height was perfect for the mattress we had. I had even bought some bed risers for fear it was not going to be high enough off the floor but can return them.My only warning to others is that it is a toe stubber and leg bruiser. I used the bubble wrap that came in the box and wrapped the end and middle medal posts and secured it with packaging tape because if you hit with your toe you will cry or swear or both! Then I banged my lower leg on the corner end of the frame top. Because this is in our guest room I will have to be sure to alert guests and grandkids about this hazard. And one other thing, there were no double sided sticky tape strips to but across the bars and I thought there were suppose to be. So it may cause a problem of slipping if the mattress is light. Our’s is a heavy and I do mean heavy memory  foam and only shifts a tad.
