I havent had this product long enough to give it a 5 stars review, but if this bed holds up a year or more, you bet Ill be back and add that extra star. Shipping was estimated to take weeks, but it showed up at my door in perfect condition and with all parts barely 3 days after I ordered it. Assembly was easy, but an extra set of hands is helpful. When putting it together, I did take the extra step to add locktite threadlocker to all of the bolts. I added a bit of gorilla glue to the holes that the wooden dowels get inserted into. Ive only had it a couple days, but Ive tested out the weight limit by piling on my mom and all my kids into the bed, and it didnt even creak like it was straining the wooden slats (well over 600 lbs). Also, with the mattress on it, I stood on it to hang some pictures above the bed, and no wobbling, no creaking, it didnt collapse. For the two nights Ive spent on it so far, I can say its been super quiet (and Im one that tosses and turns throughout the night). Also, it hasnt caused a backache yet. I was a little worried that the mattress would slide around because it sits on top of the frame instead of inside it, but it stays put even with me rolling around on it. As long as the bed holds up for awhile, Id say that it seems like a strong, supportive, quality bed and well worth the money (also quite nice looking if youre going for that bohemian or minimalist sort of look). Five stars if I get a years use out of it. It sure seems like it will hold up! So far, Im very happy with this purchase!
Love this bed!
