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.

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!!

I do say it is pretty sturdy. However is it the most sturdy thing out there? No. Mine kind of shakes and I have to tighten the screws every hear and there.

I think it was honestly pretty comfortable for two adults, there wasn't any "teeter-totter" effect when one of us would move, but if you plan on using this bed a lot, check out my review for more details.

The legs swing out but you need to be sure they are spread out fully. They don't lock or pop so that you know they are fully extended on either end. If they aren't all the way out it will feel wobbly. I love it though - the middle leg isn't right up under the center so it isn't stabbing you in the back all night - much better than others I tried.

The only squeak I ever hear is the rare noise from one of the metal bars that go across the bottom for support. Even then, it's rare and a muted sound. It's more like the bar "re-adjusts" with how it's slotted on the ends. By comparison to every other bed I've had with traditional frames, wooden headboards, etc. it doesn't make enough noise to cause concern. Even while doing the bone dance. Hope this helps!

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.

this bed is extremely sturdy. not wiggly or squeaky at all. my husband will even climb up to the top bunk, the kids climb all over the bed and there are no issues. We are very pleased with this bunk bed and would buy the same one again if we needed another.

This bed is sturdy it doesn't wobble. Of course if you weigh 300 or 400 pounds I don't think would be sturdy enough. Now if your weight is 150 pounds it is resistant.

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

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.

Very sturdy. I was about 173lbs when I got this for my daughter last year. Still felt very secure going up and down the ladder to make the upper bunk bed. The gap between the bars and bed 'wall' on which it's attached is very narrow and I have long toes so I literally have to balance on the ball of my foot or step on it lengthwise. Still, the support is adequate. Trust this helps?

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.

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.

I think it's pretty sturdy. better quality than I expected. Mine is at the foot of my bed and I would be comfortable with a toddler using it as support. I just do not know about it being okay without being against something.

The bed feels very solid, sturdy, and comfortable. That said, I have a firm 9" memory foam mattress on it so there are no squeaky springs to speak of. When I purchased, I was worried I'd have to buy a bunkie board for the memory foam mattress, but it's just sitting on top of the slats, and it's fine.
