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 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.

According to my husband who assembled the bed, it is very sturdy. Time will tell, of course. He is confident the bed will pass that test. Let's hope so!

It's pretty stable. I can lay on it and I weigh 193. Just don't drop down on it. I bought it for my grandson, he's seven. It's a wonderful tempory bed for the price and it's easy to put away.

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.

Everything still looks good on the bed. But make sure the bed is on a flat wall( because let's say you have a heater on the wall. You may lay on the headboard and it will break over time) . So have it on a flight wall so it doesn't happen( it hasn't happened to me. But I just noticed that)

Yes, it is surprisingly sturdy. My daughter climbs all over it and pushes her back against it with her feet at the back of the bed and it doesn't budge.

The bed frame is very strong and very stable. Ours had held up very well for 2 years.

I think you are correct - to be honest - we knew that when we ordered and were OK without a headboard. The bed has been fine and has lived up to our expectations. Good luck

The bed is difficult to make up and it does move some, so you have to keep pushing it around. The bed is worth that effort to me. I really love this bed..

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.

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.

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!

Love the bed, but hated the frame. I ended up bending the frame by pulling the footboard (bottom) in while sitting on the mattress. The only other solution was buying another frame, which I decided against. It looks fine once it is made up and I hardly notice that it (frame) was too long on one side. Still love the bed and get compliments on it every time I show the loft where it is being used. Thanks, rcaldwellgarrick@gmail.com

I've laid on the top bunk with both my daughters. I weigh 155 +/- I've also stood on the top bunk, to hang items on the wall, barely even moves. Bed is VERY sturdy. Even after having it many months....can't say that kids have never jumped on it either! I would recommend this set, we are happy with this purchase.
