Good solid wood base to work with.Some of the directions are not clear. Could not figure out how to use the metal locking device looking at the diagram. Finally, I figured it out given the hollow circle indentations. l had to change a few things. I did not use the wooden slats provided. Went to my local lumber yard and had them cut 5/8 AC plywood sheets for the top bed andcthe trundle bed. I had read other reviews and used the same idea. I also went a step further and reinforced the inside corners with L shaped metal . I feel there are some flaws with the mattress support design. I felt the extra metal could help with this support system. Overall, a really nice looking unit7
