I just bought this bed, assembled it, and can't fathom how anyone would put their child in it. The weight of the full frame is just not supported by the lower-half. It has 3 inch metal pins to keep the two components together, and with just a slight push, the joint rocks even when it is completely snug. I will be keeping the actual frame portion of the bed, mainly because shipping it back would be a nightmare to repack, but definitely do not recommend based on enormous weight being supported by what is essentially 4 short legs, three narrow lower braces, and very little else in terms of structure.
