Sturdy and nice looking. Fit very well in a small bedroom. Love that it has such a high weight rating. Only reason gave it a 4 instead of a 5, was due to the many pieces that needed to be put together. Whole bed came in one box , with many ,many long, individual pieces. Looked like a box of dozens of long slats. If you have someone who can take the time to work on this, it's well worth it in the end.
