Ive had this bed for about a month now. It feels sturdy, doesnt make a lot of noise, and stores a lot of stuff. Assembly was fairly straightforward. Ive only run into two issues. First, when were assembling it, we tried to remove one of the black grips that holds the plank in the middle and it snapped. I am worried that theyre built to be assembled once, not disassembled and re/assembled. This is an issue for me because I dont expect to be living in my current house forever, but well see how it goes. The second issue is minor. Since the drawers are not on a track like they would be in a dresser, they dont always go in straight. If you have any objects that rub against the bottom of the bed, you may have trouble getting the drawers back in place. Even with these concerns, Im very pleased with the bed. I like that the drawers lock in place.
EDIT (2021): Its been about two years since I purchased this bed. Ive moved twice in that time, meaning Ive had to disassemble and reassemble twice. The frame of the bed still holds up, but as expected the plastic grips have not. Mine have snapped and warped to the point where some dont fit where theyre supposed to anymore. If you have to disassemble this bed, DO NOT try to remove the plastic grips. They are not meant to be removed. Just unscrew the sides of the frame and remove the wood slats that way. Nice well made.
Nice bed, be careful disassembling
