This is a solid bed. We were originally going to cheap-out with an IKEA bed, but we wanted something well-built and customizable, within our price point. This fit the bill. We didn’t like the unfinished look, so we opted to stain it ourselves. It was an easy process, and put your together took maybe 20 minutes. All the pieces were included in the box, which was packed in the box and shipped just perfectly. The full bed we bought is for our eldest daughter, and she’s delighted. This bed is far sturdier than the laminate nonsense you get anywhere else at this price. This was an excellent purchase!
