The bed was so easy to put together and seems very sturdy. You definitely need a non slip mattress pad. Otherwise the only concern I have is that the screws holding in the faux leather pad don’t seem to be sufficient. They are spaced well but the screws all got knocked out in shipping. We managed to make it stay but most of them spin in the hole. We will find another way to secure it more sufficiently. It isn’t a big enough deal to return it
