one of the most sturdy beds I've ever had my life! This sucker is heavy! If there's ever an earthquake, hurricane, or tornado, all I have to do is lift my mattress and hide underneath inside this bed frame. 
In all seriousness, well-made and straightforward to put together bed. It did take quite a while and two people to put it together, but any bed made with that much real wood has to have quite a bit of hardware holding it together so that it can be shipped and handled easily before assembly but also be sturdy once assembled.
