I absolutely love this bed! The quality is great for the price and it is super sturdy. I opted to keep my heavy duty metal frame because I still have a toddler who jumps on my bed and wanted to be sure that the headboard wasnt constantly wiggling back and forth and loosen up. My metal frame fit perfectly into the inside of the bed frame. Nail head detail was a tad bent when I took it out of the package but easily bent and lightly hammered a few places and looks as if there never was an issue. The back is not finished and the black backing has velcro where some parts were stored. All in all, would definitely recommend!!
