This was just what we needed after a 38-year-old wooden frame gave out. And yes, it was everything it advertised to be. Strong, sturdy and easy to assemble. However, we are using it with our box spring to give it added height I prefer. Granted my wife now needs a step stool to get on the bed, but she is okay with that. We will be ordering a twin size later, for one of our sons. The height is not only perfect for storage, but our Husky can now sleep under the bed again
