The bed itself is very sturdy. I love the modern look with the wood and the metal.I bought this for my three-year-old son transitioning out of his toddler bed and he is in love with it. I gave it three stars because the mattress does not sit in the frame, it stills on top, so the mattress moves all over the place. The metal planks that hold the mattress up come with some kind of sticker system. you peel off the top portion and it sticks to the mattress to try and hold it in place.(which doesnt work) Very annoying putting sheets on and off of it. I have to constantly keep pushing the mattress up against the wall so my son doesnt Fall between the mattress and the wall.
