When I initially received this bed I was a little sceptical because initially the parts seemed rather lightweight and flimsy. However, once correctly assembled the bed frame is quite sturdy and seems to be a design that really is a sum of its parts. We have been sleeping on our Cal King/King version for a month, using a fairly hefty 14 memory foam mattress, and the mattress coupled with our equally hefty combined 550 lbs of body weight has not appeared to cause the frame any distress. We are an older couple, so I dont know if a younger more sporting couple would find the frames weaknesses, but for us so far it has worked very well.
The only advice on assembling the frame would be to leave the headboard crossmember off the headboard until after you attach the side rails, as the crossmember screws obscure the brackets that need to snug down on the bolts, so you have to remove the crossmember anyway, so dont bother fitting it in the first step. As expected, thank you!
Great Value
