I got this bed for my grandson to replace a twin bed. It's sturdy and looks good too. It fits the rustic decor of the house.  It took about an hour for one person to put together. One of the pictures show a joint with two bolts. That was hard to put together. Once it got together, it was worth the little aggravation. It got scratched up a bit during assembly, but they are hidden with the mattress.  I really like this bed and am glad I got it for my grandson.
