It seems nice and sturdy when put together. Time will tell, but I am very happy with it and the price was great too! Easy to assemble and even easier if it's two people doing it, as it has many small parts. We were missing one little pole and had to order it. The instructions are very descriptive and helpful. It told me exactly what to do and how to order missing parts. It was a totally hassle-free process and I am very pleased. The only thing I could suggest as an area of opportunity for the manufacturer is that it comes with plastic casters. We replaced them with rubber ones to protect our wood floors. Other than that, it is a great bed and a great deal.
