I was so nervous to buy a bed online, and spent literal months picking one out. I try to have realistic expectations of furniture based on the price, so I was hoping to find a good quality bed that would last several years without spending a fortune. I am so happy with this bed! It was easy to put together and it feels very sturdy. The frame doesn't creak or wobble and the slats don't sag. We bought a nice thick mattress to go on top, and it supports it with no issues. The headboard is also tall enough that it's not totally obscured by pillows once the bed is made (and we have a lot of pillows).
