My biggest issue with this bed is that the headboard is wobbly. There isnt anything that seems to keep it firmly in place. No screws, you just slide it in to two short posts. I thought maybe the mattress or box spring would hold it steady, but neither do the trick. I think I can fix that, though, DIY style. My other issue is that there isnt much room to store anything under the bed...anything with any height to it (like our suitcases, which fit under our old bed frame). It isnt a strong metal (certainly not cast iron, which I might have been, perhaps foolishly, imagining it would be like). For the price, however, it will serve. Overall I like the look of it, and well be keeping it. So I give this bed frame a 3.5.
