The five stars come with footnote for the money. Im sure you could get a more sturdy and easily assembled bed for $1000 but this fit our needs perfectly. And we bought king-sized and arent light people. The sturdiness is helped by the mattress cross bars (slats) being metal and slotted to lock into the frame. If you arent used to assembling furniture, a great tip is to not tighten the screws until after they are all loosely fitted and slats are locked in place. Also, beware the Allen wrench bolts - tough on the fingers to get them snug (I used my rock-climber son for this step). To the manufacturer- sure would be nice to fit a hex wrench on these!
Good value
