I was initially a little apprehensive regarding the quality of the bed before setting it up knowing that it wasn’t a solid hard wood. However, after getting it set up (which was pretty simple- just make sure to look through the entire direction booklet to make sure you have everything facing the right direction), I feel much more confident about its sturdiness. We currently have a box frame in addition to the slats under our mattress which makes it a little too high for a headboard without the ceilings being higher than 8 feet. The drawers are amazingly large when it comes to the depth. I would absolutely make this purchase again!
