Overall OK quality, but some pieces are horribly made
This item combines a pleasing appearance and overall good frame with some really wtf quality on other pieces
Assembly: manuals are meh, item received with poorly made booklet, clearly done on bad copy machine, with toner lines, not all content readable. Parts are marked with something that looks like a stamp, hard to find, and not very legible. With that said, once you get going on assembly, it starts making sense after a while, and then assembly gets easier
Frame: looks very sturdy, cant fault here. Still, manufacturing is very poor. One piece (see photo) was kind/of cracked, in not critical place, but still. Tolerances are very liberal. Many holes overdrilled, dowels are swimming inside them. Finish in some places is very sloppy. There are nicks all over the place. With that said, its a kids bed, theyll destroy it anyway, so who cares.
Other: while frame is good, the other pieces are made very cheaply and using questionable materials:
/ the under/mattress planks are made of PLYWOOD!! Unsanded. Holes made sloppy.
/ the support bar for lower part made of plywood. Theres visible machining defect on it if you look at photo. Very poor quality
/ The support legs for the lower part also made of plywood. One leg even split in half right away. Plywood is generally not a material I would expect to see for this purpose. At least, sand it.
/ The boxes are also made out of plywood, which would split when I get wheels installed. Not sure if this is a big deal or not, but I foresee they shall disintegrate soon if used.
Final thoughts: the bed has great potential. I bought it with a resale in mind, but it will definitely not hold resale value. I would probably have to update this bed with my own planks, made of actual wood this time, not plywood. Manufacturer needs to address quality issues, the quality on some parts is atrocious. Also, print the manuals, dont copy them, wtf. At least make booklet downloadable on . however I would not recommend anyone buy this.
