I bought this bed for my almost 10/year/old son, and so far the value for the money has been wonderful. Not all of the pieces were clearly labeled, so it took a little longer to study the illustrations and put together, however I didnt think it was a nightmare, as some reviews stated. I put the bed together by myself, and it only took about an hour and a half. The reason it took that long was because I spent about 20 minutes trying to get one screw lined up correctly. It seems very sturdy and does not squeak. The only thing I disliked about this bed was that it did not have any anti/slip material on the slats, which caused the mattress to slide off the frame. As a quick fix, I used spray adhesive on a few of the slats toward the middle of the bed, which worked wonderfully. I would definitely purchase this bed again and would recommend it to others.
Great Bed for the Price
