This has been a great bed for my two boys. It's held up well and looks very nice in their room. The one issue I have is that the hardware that holds the front piece onto the trundle bends very easy. If you aren't careful, you can easily bend it so it sits at an angle instead of straight/flush with the upper bed. Not a huge deal, but with the kids pushing and pulling the trundle in and out, I know we will eventually have to replace the hardware and possible the front white board. But for the price we got it, it was totally worth it and I would still recommend it.
