This Bed is sturdy and exactly as described. It was fairly easy to assemble, my husband and 10 year old put it together without issue. It’s perfect for our 10 year old’s memory foam mattress without a box spring. However, there is a bit of a gap between the bottom of the headboard and the top of the mattress. Nothing too noticeable, and the pillows cover it, but the mattress is a 12 inch so I was a bit surprised.
