This is a very attractive bed frame. Simple, clean, pleasing to the eye. A little time consuming to assemble but not difficult. When I had it assembled with a mattress, the frame would sag a bit when I would lay in it (Im 275 lbs). I was not overly surprised because this is a pretty inexpensive bed and there were several comments about it being weak or breaking. So. I cut a sheet of 1/4 inch plywood to lay over the slates and then built a little stand out of 2x6 to support the middle of the bed (like a fifth foot). Now my bed is both attractive and sturdy. The extra work took less time than the initial assembly. For smaller kids this might not be necessary. Do not buy this bed you will regret it
No the sturdiest bed frame
