Incredibly sturdy. I read many reviewers prior to purchasing. I was particularly interested in noise and how much motion transfer it allows. My wife and I have slept on it for one week so far. It has exceeded or expectations by far. For all you couples who share your home with kids or family, this frame doesnt make a peep! Very silent.
I was skeptical when I received the box. I feared it was too small for a queen frame. I highly recommended hand tightening everything. If you have your own set of hex keys (Allen wrenches) I recommend you use them. The hex key the unit comes with is very soft metal. It wont last and youll risk stripping the hex slots on the screw heads. Use your own crescent wrench, too. The manufacturer means well but the little tools included belong in the trash.
I am 62 at near 275 lbs. My wife is a petite 95 lbs. When I get up in the middle of the night to use the restroom, there is absolutely no motion transfer with a good quality firm memory foam mattress and NO BOX SPRING. I highly recommend not using one. Also, look for a bed skirt that will fit the size you purchase (14 or 16). Once assembled and installed, the frame looks very industrial. has some affordable skirts in several colors. To all you big guys, I hope you enjoy this bed if you make this choice.
Tip: Do not use power tools to assemble. The metal is strong but susceptible to damage if you use too much torque.
So far, so good!
