This bed frame is truly solid. I was nervous with having a large dog that likes to sleep on the bed with me that one would hear every motion possible. Odd thing but my last bed frame that was the case. With this that is not! It was super easy to put together by myself and quick. The only downfall was one of the bulbs I guess you could call it was slightly dented on the footboard. Thankfully, I just faced it towards the bed and you would never know.
