One week into use and very pleased so far. Assembly instructions were straightforward. Took me 2 hours by myself to put together. Wood seems sturdy and thankfully no cracked pieces as others reported. Definitely helps to have an electric screwdriver for attaching the slats to the bed frame (26 screws). Btw...the slats are all spaced evenly and connected together by two nylon strips. Make sure to place the strips/webbing face up when installing. Makes it much easier than having 13 separate pieces. As for the rolling drawers...very large in size and un-painted on the inside (just the wood color). They **do** work on carpeting. Lastly, as some have mentioned, the bed does have a "new bed" smell. I opened the window in the room to air it out and the smell was gone after a few days.
