I spent weeks deciding if I should buy this bed frame (based on the negative reviews) and ultimately decided that I needed the drawer space. As mentioned in other reviews, I put the bed together and then went to the local hardware store to get corner brackets to help reinforce the bed. I also turned all of the upside down and put wood glue on the edges where the bottom of the drawer meets the sides. I let the glue sit overnight before putting the back. Every single drawer is filled with clothing and some of them with heavier clothes like jeans. Ive been using it for 1 month now and absolutely love it. The bed feels sturdy / I only notice give if I am purposely trying to test out the sturdiness of the frame. And even then, it doesnt move much. I bought this for 250 and not only was it significantly cheaper than other frames I have bought, it is also significantly better and more useful than other frames. So far I love it and am very glad that I decided to purchase it. Just make sure you reinforce it. I didnt test the bed without the reinforcements, but I am guessing it wouldnt be as sturdy.
UPDATE: Ive now had this bed for a year and I still love it. Absolutely no issues at all. have held up just fine. Nothing has broken. The bed isnt wobbly. My only complaint is that I wish the had handles on them, but I can add those myself.
Perfect for my room
