Also, how sturdy is this bed? Does the headboard "sway" a bit? Some1 I know has another version, and it sways pretty bad with getting in and out.

Mine doesn't sway at all and seems really sturdy, however it is on carpet. I don't know if Hardwood floors would make a difference. So far this bed has held up nicely over the past year.

I have owned this bed for over a year now and it is very sturdy. I love this bed. We put a box under the mattress and there is no gap from the headboard to the mattress. Go for it! You won't regret it!

It is a fairly solid bed. The headboard doesn't "sway" at all because it is bolted to the frame with some heavy connection points. Well worth the money.

Our king sized bed and headboard are rock solid. The headboard is not only attached directly to the face of the bed frame (via carriage bolts), but is additionally attached to the frame via the headboard's side wings. The end result is a "knee brace" or "gusset" form of attachment, allowing for virtually no movement of the headboard.

The bed is certainly sturdy enough which was a little surprising to me, given its size. The only draw back I see to using the trundle bed every day is the trundle is on rollers and not a track, its totally independent from the bed frame. This is a good thing in my case but if a child were going to push it back in every day, it my get just a little tricky for them to line it up and push it straight back in. I know it is for me but I can easily maneuver it back straight (it does roll very easily). Other than that one issue you might have, its a very sturdy and easy to use trundle bed. I have two and very happy with the quality. I hope this info helps!

very sturdy beds, I have slept on the lower bunk but the top is not recommended for over 165 lbs. both my kids do play together on top though. as good as what i saw in furniture stores for half the money.

It's not wobbly at all. And also the noises and squeakiness of the original wood full size bed are gone. The queen is now very sturdy. I was originally told to purchase an extra center support which I did not do. And it seems that it is not needed. I'm super happy with the conversion and love my Queen size bed. It still sits higher than the full and the headboard is hidden a little but it doesn't really matter. I am happy.

So far, we haven't run into any issues. I think we have had ours for about 9 months and its holding up well so far (no sinking thoroughly the bottom. I think the sinking happens more when the slats are not so close together. We had that exact problem with this very nice wooden frame we had before this one and that was the exact reason we got the better than a box spring frame. And we are glad we did. We are getting better sleep and not waking up all sore. I would recommend it.

Bed is great. The only problem is the two pieces of particle board that they use for the main support. We just found out during the week that it is starting to break so now over the weekend we have to go switch out the particle board for real wood.Other than that we haven't had any problems with the bed. Its not like its a metal or normal frame that moves, so you don't get any noises from it. Drawers pull out without any problems and noises as well.

I have a large queen and it is perfectly sturdy. I have not had a problem with it yet.

So far no sagging - seems pretty sturdy. I have had the bed frame for a few months. Does mattress slide? Yes, but I put an old quilt between the mattress and frame and that helped a lot. I would still buy the frame knowing all of this.

The bed feels very solid, sturdy, and comfortable. That said, I have a firm 9" memory foam mattress on it so there are no squeaky springs to speak of. When I purchased, I was worried I'd have to buy a bunkie board for the memory foam mattress, but it's just sitting on top of the slats, and it's fine.

As is, we (the parents) didn't feel comfortable on the top bunk. But we just added 4-6 more 1X4 slats from Lowe's and now it's a lot sturdier. 2 adults can sleep on the bottom bunk just fine. We love this bed. It's survived two moves so far, and still as sturdy as the first day we put it together.

I think it's pretty sturdy. better quality than I expected. Mine is at the foot of my bed and I would be comfortable with a toddler using it as support. I just do not know about it being okay without being against something.

I have only had it assembled for a few days now but it seemed to hold about 170 pounds just fine overnight. There are multiple boards holding up the mattress so the weight is displaced decently on the top bed (a slim box spring would probably give it even more strength - just don't get a regular box spring unless you don't mind that the head boards are even to the mattress. I had to return our box spring because of that & will be getting a slim box spring instead.). The bottom bed I would be hesitant on using a lot of weight since the wheels that support the bed do not seem as sturdy. Hope that helps.

The frame does not hold the mattress in place, i.e., it can slide some. For the most part I have not found this to be a problem. The bed is well built. I have two.

It is a sturdy bed but as others have mentioned, you would probably have to reinforce the frame with more wooden slats. Our bed has a box spring and the bed is really sturdy. I love this bed but I would suggest that you use a box spring or be ready to reinforce the area where the mattress will be.

Yes is does have a horizontal cross bar that you can just see in the right hand bottom side of the photo. It is 28 inches above the floor. We have had the headboard for awhile now and have had to no problems with it. I find that it is fairly sturdy. I wouldn't recommend jumping on the bed. We have the double bed size so I can't comment on how sturdy it would be on a queen or king size bed.

It's very sturdy. Mine sits on a gym mat. Since it's not bolted down, it's only gonna be as sturdy as your floor is evenly flat. I haven't had mine shake on me. My friend claims when he's struggling on the dips, he's had it slightly shake. Nothing extreme like tipping over. Obviously because if you let your body shake, the tower will too. Rock solid in my opinion.

I had the same experience at the beginning, but I took it apart and looked at the directions again. they are not the clearest but once I figured how it should go, it turned out well and it's a great bed. sturdy and unshakable. good make and great deal.good luck
