The bed feels sturdy. We did not see any dents and scratches on the metal. The headboard and footboard are heavy and they need two people to install all the screws. The directions are printed on the inside box and a sheet. There are not any extra screws and bolts included. It needs an improvement in the connections for the headboard and footboard. Very difficult to get some of the screws to fit into each other. When the directions are followed, it will take two people at least three hours to set up from start to finish depending on the size of the bed. It would really help to replace the printed directions with color pictures and include extra screws and bolts. Very pleased with the bed. I looked at 200 different platform beds and selected this one because of its color, style, under/bed height, and warranty. We recommend this platform bed for those who enjoy a vintage look.
