Its definitely a cheaply made bed. We didnt want to spend a fortune because its for a kid, and kids mess up things. So we opted for the wallet-friendly bed. It serves its purpose and its pretty sturdy. We had some issues assembling it as the holes didnt lined up well and when we tried to attached the finials (the little balls on the bed posts), we had a really hard time getting them to go into the posts. My husband had to bang them in and paint was chipping off the bed posts. There were also several blemishes on the bed. Nothing that was worth the hassle of boxing it back up and sending it back but we did our best to try and assemble the bed where theyd be the least visible. Our daughter was happy with it, so thats really the important thing. Overall its just ok.
