I don't feel that the bed is as sturdy as it is described! It wobbles. It didn't have all the hardware so my husband had to go purchase what he needed to complete the bed from our local hardware store. We also had to put a piece of plywood over the slats because without a box spring you would eventually would be replacing the mattress! The bed description says box spring required but I can assure you, it needs something solid underneath the mattress. I'm disappointed.
