This bed is very stable once put together. The design is very functional and my new memory foam mattress fits on the slat platform nicely. The instructions were a bit different and for another design specifically; the item instructions for the Molinaro Platform Bed are much more appropriate for this Platform Bed...if you can request them from Wayfair for putting the bed together youll be better off, because this bed comes with no paper instructions at all!! Overall the quality of the upholstery is nice and the navy blue is true to the color shown online at Wayfair. This is a great bed for the price point and the fact that it can hold up to 1330 lbs is awesome! Im glad I chose this bed!
