The bed is SUPER sturdy and pretty easy to put together. Sometimes when putting the poles together for the top of bed the screws couldnt fit making it hard to put together. A bonus that I loved while putting this together is, the bed frame came with extra hardware. The extra hardware was labelled as extra taking the guest work out if youre missing any hardware that needs to be a part of the bed. The box came heavy and with more than enough hardware, super sturdy, and I luv it.
