This bed is trendy while still being classic, and more importantly, it is quality in terms of its durability. I ordered a similar item from Great Offer Stock (Baxton Studio 'Monarch' Antique White Iron Metal Bed Frame) initially because it was a bit cheaper. However, the bed buckled within a few weeks (I only weight 140 lbs.). This bed is a little more expensive but still very affordable. The extra money buys you more quality in terms of aesthetics and quality. It is the center piece of bedroom, and I get compliments on it all the time. I definitely recommend this bed!
