Thr bed is sturdy once up.Thd packaging of hardware is horrible with tiny and tinier screws mixed in one bag with small little squares of paper with numbers identifying whats in there.pics for instructions were sometimes very confusing.This is not a beginner project for sure! So great bed lousy instructions.I threw my tools a few times.Why they make such a big project to be put together with an Allen key instead of something you can hold better like a regular screwdriver or electric drill.I attached a wrench to the key so I could get a grasp on it.
