This is a very solid bed frame. The wood is actually very good and I feel it will hold up. Now I don't know if I got a defective set but it was such a pain putting it up. I only got 15 bolts to put the legs in when I w was s supposed to get 16. I had to go to two hardware stores to get a bolt something like it. Thankfully I made it work, then one of the middle blocks that hold up the center of the bed had half of the screw hole covered. I just had to do without it and the directions for part lf it just didn't line up with my bed and holes were placed in areas it didn't line up with the bed. Thankfully I was able to make due and it is still very solid. I jus6lt hope your experience isn't like mine.
