This is very sturdy compared to other metal beds I have owned, the slats are very secure! There is plenty of room for storage bins underneath. A couple inaccuracies with the picture though The headboard is not as tall as pictured, I cannot see it behind my pillows and the top of my mattress is level with the footboard. Also the color is more of a matte dark grey rather than a true black. Overall, happy with this purchase!
