I would have given this 5 stars but there was a very strong odor to this bed when I received it and it didn't go away for about 2 months.  Otherwise, I love the bed.  It's sturdy, and well made.  I did purchase additional slats to support the mattress but it's not necessary.  This was going in a room for a 22 year old boy so I thought I would give it a little reinforcement.  There are no speaks, and it is very stable.   I would definitely recommend letting it air in the garage when you initially get it.  

Pros: Sturdy, strong, looks really expensive
Cons: strong odor some kind of chemical odor.
