I am a 65/year/old woman. I put this together myself. I was amed at the sturdiness, I love the drawers! There was so much thought into the construction of this set. My only concern was the side supports that were put together with wood pins. My husband is 350 pounds, and after the first night he broke them. So I put in the side supports, four of them, four screws each. We also had to buy rubber nonskid footings. Not a problem. All in all, I love the way this bed went together. Ive been putting furniture together for over 40 years and this is one of the best.
We used our existing box spring and mattress and they fit perfectly! Me likey!
Add extra support to midsection
