    Looks good but not so strong

    This bed looks great and comes at a very reasonable price, and for the most part it does well. However, there are a couple things to keep in mind: First, the frame overall isnt very rigid so it wont be square and properly aligned on its own, so when setting it up you have to be careful to make sure its square. Second, if you dont carefully align the sides when setting it up, the drawers will be misaligned and wont seat flat against the frame (one side or the other will stick out when you close the drawer). I recommend that you ensure that its completely square (using the drawers as the gauge) before putting on the mattress and then dont move it after that. Third, if you ever have to move the bed youll have to be very careful about it because its lack of rigidity means you cant just pick up one end and move it because itll cause the bed to deform and bend rather than move. Fourth, the lack of rigidity means that the bed will squeak and make other funny noises when you move on it or sometimes even when you sit on it, and will rock and make a great deal of noise when performing any kind of rigorous movement on it (so dont count on any kind of privacy during intimate activities). One possible solution to issues 1 through 3 is to remove the wooden slats that support the mattress and replace them with a piece of plywood that is screwed into the frame to reinforce it and add strength and rigidity. I dont know if this will help with the noise issue because thats due to lateral movement that a piece of plywood may not address. The noise issue may require reinforcing the corners of the frame to prevent lateral movement.
