The bed is a basic tube metal design but it does the job well, you don't have to worry about fake wood chipping off or breaking so it's nice and sturdy in that sense. It's surprisingly lightweight, the downside to that is you can feel anyone else in the bed tossing and turning. I have some curtains that I'm going to be able to out right on the tubes of the canopy top so that's a great perk. I'm happy with my purchase so far and I was definitely happy with the price of it.
