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.

there isnt a headboard that is the beauty of it. It is reall a day bed style. Putting it together is very easy and it is really sturdy. For the price it is great construction.

The bed was for my son in college. He has no headboard so we didn't attach one. Sorry, I can't be of any help. The last I heard though, he does find the bed to be very comfortable.

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.

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.

This bed is extremely solid and well built. I've put two people on it that together weigh above 280 and it's been fine. That being said, it's not officially rated for above 150 lbs, so if you do so, it's kind of at your own risk.

Bought the bed in 2011 still have it today and it's still doing awesome. Even with some rough "relations" it has stayed together well. Sturdy, no noisy at all, probably has something to do with the choice of bed you use. I should note that I have moved and taken the bed apart and put it back together with no issues! Furthermore, I do not have children so I don't know how well it will stand up to their antics.

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.

My twin bed has a headboard that I think gives the bed more weight. I don't sit at the end of the bed only on the side. Ive had no problems with the frame or tipping.

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.

It is definitely more sturdy, but I do make an effort to keep in straight, at my side, rather than swinging out in front of me. I have an arthritic hip that can get gamey. My daughter says she has noticed it is more sturdy with side to side movement rather than forward and back. It does balance on its own which is cool, though I have walked off without out it once.

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.

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.

I would sugguest buying a different bed with sturdier wood. We had ours for less than 6 months my 4 year old and wife sat on it at the same time and the frame and head board piece snapped in half. Sorry hope that helps

My wife and I recently got this bed and I weight around 185 and she is about 150 and hold us just fine. The only issue we have had is that the wood support slats on the right side of the bed fall out of place when you lay in it sometimes. I think due to being slightly too short because the left side is fine. Otherwise a very sturdy bed.

The headboard has legs that attach to the frame of the bed (the material of the headboard, therefore, does not go all the way down). I suppose the headboard could rest against the wall with the bed pushed up against it to hold it up, but I think it would be a little wobbly. Hope that helps.

We un-stacked the beds last week and on day 1, I snapped the "top bunk" support in half.... I was standing, rearranging room decorations and plopped down without really thinking about it. I think I read that the max weight is 250 (?) And I weigh nowhere near that... it makes me worried about how this bed will hold up when the boys grow up and jump on their beds!! with that said, my husband and I have laid on both beds with both kids with no problems (all together about 400 pounds).
