This bed, as other reviewers have said, is not hugely sturdy or made of massively strong, durable materials. In fact, we bought the white one, and there were multiple flaws in the finish and it seems to be of rather cheap materials. While most of them will be relatively hidden for the majority of its use and life, it just wasn't the most impressive workmanship or quality parts. But it will suffice as the daybed and occasional pull-out sleeper we needed, so we're obviously keeping it.
