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.

Yes is does have a horizontal cross bar that you can just see in the right hand bottom side of the photo. It is 28 inches above the floor. We have had the headboard for awhile now and have had to no problems with it. I find that it is fairly sturdy. I wouldn't recommend jumping on the bed. We have the double bed size so I can't comment on how sturdy it would be on a queen or king size bed.

I've had this bed frame for a while now & there's no squeaking or shaking, it's very sturdy & secure. Hope this helps.

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.

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!

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 whole bed including the bookshelf headboard is very sturdy. I have had this bed for my daughter for about 6 months and I have no complaints

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

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.

The drawers in the upright chest slide easily, the only problem I have had is one of the bottoms popped down and out (Probably my daughters fault by stuffing too many cloths in it). I did not get the underbed storage, but the underneath bed slides out easily, it's on rollers. The bed has held up very will and is well built.

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.

We haven't experienced any problems with this bed. I'm wondering if you didn't put it together properly or if perhaps they sent wrong parts. We love it.

i haven't had any problems with it moving around--not in bed and not in my favorite upholstered chair. i did find my self slipping off the bed at first, but a change of bottoms and then a change of pad placed under top sheet worked well. i'm going to order another one of these. i love it!!

The bed is equipped with a center support rail and leg such as other king beds or frames have and it has posed no problems for us at weights of 130 and 192. We have had it since August in a bedroom with substantial carpet and padding and we have detected no creaks, rattles or movements.

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.

I haven't had any issues personally. We have a queen and love it, no problems at all with slats breaking or instability, it's very solid for us. Good luck!
