Everything is real wood except the bottom piece on the drawers.
Every single piece of wood (besides the slats which are obvious to identify) had a number sticker that matched instructions. All holes were pre-drilled on the top piece, although some (like the slats) didnt have a hole on the lower piece. Pieces are also secured with wooden pegs and everything feels pretty sturdy once assembled. Assembly was straight-forward and possible to do alone, with the only difficult part being balancing the bed rails to attach the head and foot boards.
I split a piece in assembly. I emailed the company directly (not thru ) Sat evening, but repaired it since I wasnt expecting a resolution soon. They replied on Sunday and recommended a replacement piece even though I said I thought the repair would hold. They shipped me the new piece on Mon or Tues.
The slats ought to be a cm longer or the rails they rest on be a bit wider. I didnt like screwing them in so close to the edge.
We bought this despite being not quite the right color, due to the price, real wood, and good reviews. I think it was a great value, even considering I added a couple of light coats of paint.
