The packaging is good. Very few dings and scratches, nothing major. The load bearing components are solid wood ( not single pieces - I could see the zig zag patterns of wood joinery at many places). I think they are rubber wood with the finish you order ( I got oak). The sides and bottom of the drawers, the top of drawer chest and the covering for footboard are MDF The Hardware screws/bolts are pretty sturdy - but no extras except for a couple of wooden small screws. The bolts/screws are neatly packaged in numbered bags. If you can, open packaging in garage or outside to avoid the styrofoam bits spreading around the home. The sliding components could have been better - cheap plastic and some sheet metal. Assembly was time consuming ( because of the 6 drawers), but the main frame was a breeze. The fitting after full assembly is very good.
I got this for 3 year old, but the bed sits pretty high - the first thing she did was use the drawer fronts as steps to climb the bed Repeated usage like that might damage the drawers - I plan to push the drawer chest atleast 3 inches inside to discourage the kid from climbing on the drawers.
The kid jumped on the bed and there were no creaking sounds. The slats are plywood planks - looked strong with a good flex.
Overall, pretty good for the money. There is formaldehyde emission certification in case you are worried about buying for kids room. My main concern is the width and thickness of the side plank - will update if anything breaks with an active 3 year olds usage. Overall, good buy.
Decent quality, simple assembly instructions, seems sturdy
