It’s a beautiful bed, but it is not solid wood. I bought it in 2018, and one of the side rails just broke in half. See attached photo, this is clearly not wood, honestly it looks like cardboard, but is probably some sort of compressed fiberboard. I still love the look of it, so I bought a metal bed frame, also from Wayfair, took the bed apart, & reattached the headboard & footboard to the new metal frame. It’s very sturdy now, & I’ll keep it as long as the headboard & footboard hold up. They should, since they’re no longer bearing any weight. I’m not sorry I bought it, but calling it solid wood is false advertising.
