This is a pretty bed and should be sturdy, but after putting the side rails into the headboard and footboard, I found that the cross rails were 1/8th of an inch it so too long, so I took them to a machinist shop to have them cut down. Then,I found that the cross/slats that are supposed to lock in place are slightly too ling, so they will lock on one side, Great. I made do, but it is not as sturdy as it should have been, if it had been machined correctly.
Not machined accurately
