I was extremely skeptical of such an affordable frame being able to support bed bed and my family safely. I was shocked by the ease of assembly and the strength of the foundation. Further, It is high enough to store EIGHT 77 qt storage tubs under it. I am 20 months pregnant (at least I feel that way) and my husband is not small either, but this bed supports both of us and in the morning our children too, without concern. The platform is also surprisingly comfortable. One unexpected bonus, was the plastic on the feet. I assembled the king sized frame myself and moved it around the room, without scratching the wood flooring. I would completely recommend it, it is definitely worth the lengthy shipping time (it's no Prime, but it did arrive within 10 days).
