I was skeptical about the bent wood ribs holding up the box spring and mattress but a week into it, its holding up well. It took me about 4-5 hours to put together mostly because of the amount of screws holding it in place and I cut some of the time off using my drill and putting the screws in about 75% of the way and then using the allen wrench to tighten the screws. The absolute worst part was putting the feet on and I ended up propping each corner up using some of the spare wood because holding the bedframe and screwing the feet on was almost impossible with an allen wrench in the corners. When completely assembled it was amazingly sturdy. I would say take your time and make sure you take the time to tighten everything.
So Far so Good and pretty sturdy, too
