The frame itself is extremely light/weight and easily moved around a carpeted room after full assembly even with a mattress on top. I had no problems assembling this, placing the mattress, and THEN moving it to where I needed it to be. I am 5ft, 85lbs, and zero muscle, and I was capable of moving it fully assembled. Thats a win for me!
The drawers are not solid, but wire grating. Theyre flexible bars, but not so much that Im prevented from putting heavy items in the drawers. The wheels, however: if you have carpet in the room where this will be used, you may need to assist the casters when theres stuff inside the drawers. They wont slide easily over carpet once the drawers get heavy. Thats pretty typical of caster wheels / I dont fault the frame for that.
The leathaire is VERY THIN. If you have rambunctious kiddos or pets you will need to reupholster the boards pretty quickly. Dont expect the fabric to last you a lifetime. The frame is the most important part to me anyway, so job well done with this.
