The bed seems to be sturdy, for the most part. There are some parts where I don't think a single person could do it; going to need some help. It makes you empty all 3 boxes with The instructions/hardware in box 2, and some of the parts you need in each step are randomly through all the boxes. The instructions need to be more clear; I'm having to go back because of pieces being backward. There are some spots where the paint is lighter/chipped.
All complaints aside, I think this will be a lasting bed. My wife read on one of the stickers on the bed can hold up to 600 pounds, so we shouldn't have to worry about that!
