This is a very sturdy, solidly constructed bed.  My husband was shocked at how many extra steps and pieces it came with to make it so solid.  A great piece of furniture at a super reasonable price.  One thing to note is the frame is not deep, so if you have a normal box spring, it might make the mattress a little too high.  You'll likely want a low profile box spring or just a board under the mattress for this bed -- then it is perfect.
