I paid $300 for this one. You get what ya pay for is what to consider when buyin this. The particleboard is Half inch thick material so it is not the strongest of frames and it is quite heavy. I used some angle brackets on the joining surfaces of the bed to help keep it together if I ever try to move it. I had a king size that broke when I attempted to relocate it. Do yourself a favor, got to the hardware store and buy 8- 2 corner braces and at least 32 half inch long wood screws(the screws that come w/ the braces will poke through the other side of the particle board) and use them on the cross pieces inside the frame that will hold the drawer sliders and the drawers. Use one on top and on on the bottom. The top one is tight, theres not much room on the topside of the bolt they give you to put it together(youll see what I mean when you put the bed together) You also may want to put some sort of feet on it. I put self sticking sliders on mine, 4 on either side. This will help if you need to move it, and if it is on carpet it will help greatly. After I put the slats in that hold the mattress, I crosstaped the bed to make sure it was square, then I ran some inch and a quarter long wood screws through the center slat and through the outside set. This also helps keep this unit square when moving it again.
This is not a very durable piece of furniture but for the money spent Id do it again. Take the extra time to add some reinforcement and you should be OK...... Again! You do get what you pay for.
Not bad for the money
