The bed frame is very sturdy and I've received compliments on the tufted finish of the headboard. I would recommend future buyers purchase a box spring as is suggested on the detail. My husband and I purchased a low profile box spring just to be safe. But now there's a gap between our mattress and the headboard. It's not a big deal, we just fill the space with pillows. But regardless, the headboard and bed frame are gorgeous. The corners on the bed are very sharp for some reason, so please be wary if you have young ones in your bedroom often.
