Its sturdy, its affordable, and its so much work to put together.
Good quality for the price. Seems very sturdy. Came undamaged with all the pieces and directions. Putting it together was a monumental task. Its like!!a giant puzzle with a million pieces. You will be building every single part of this， you have to build all the headboards and footboards. There are two different size slats and if you make a mistake you will have to take it apart and start over. I read and reread the directions and triple checked my parts before beginning and I still messed up and had to take my first headboard apart. Once I got one headboard together though the going was much easier. Dont use wood glue， I thought Id do my own thing and use wood glue and it was just super messy. When putting the slats into the headboards you put this piece of styrofoam in first to help the slat stay in place. This made no sense to me and I didnt want to do it. You have to do it. I ended up putting the little styrofoam piece all the way over to one side and pushing the slat into place by squishing it over with the slat. Im not sure if that is how you are supposed to do it as the directions offered no advice on this step. When you get to this step it will make sense. Another sort of mistake I made was using a cordless drill instead of the allen wrench. My husband was out of town so I built this beast on my own. I found a drill bit that worked but wasnt exactly perfect. I ended up drilling a few in too tight and stripping a few that are a bit stuck. We will likely never be able to take this thing apart， nor would I want to. SO much work. This bed is a great product ! budget option and will get the job done but boy do I wish I could have gone to a furniture store and bought a $1，200 bunk bed that came pre made lol.
