This bed is beautifully made, and is extremely sturdy and stable. I was hesitant about ordering when I read some of the reviews about the bed sitting so low, but imo the bed doesnt sit low. My mattress is a 10 inch mattress, and I think it sits nicely. I ordered this in a king. Assembly was extremely easy. You will need a phillips head screw driver. For the price you cant beat it! When my partner gets out of bed, there is no movement, and when partaking in certain activities, the bed does not move, and does not hit the wall. I would recommend this bed! I LOVE IT.
