After reading reviews of the lack of sturdiness of the bed I opted to add these boxes that I custom built using 2x4 and shelving from. HOME depot. I feel SUPER sturdy on the bed. At the top half I used 12 inch by 3 foot shelves with 2 foot 2x4 in between. At the bottom (only bc home depot didnt have any more) I used 12 inch by 2 foot shelving. I put the wood slats over the top like normal and then placed the mattress. Happy with my decision. It is elegant.
Love love love. Happy with my purchase.
