I can definitely see during the assembly process why a lot of reviews complain about sturdiness, but I followed the directs exactly (and drilled in the final screws) and its been able to hold my box spring, mattress me and my dog! Its been about 4 days.. will update if anything changes. My only complaint so far is that I run into the footboard with my shins since it lays a little longer than the rest of the bed.
Works for me!
