The bed is ok for the price. We just put it together, which was simple enough, and it seems sturdy so far. The color is much darker than it appears in the picture which was a big disappointment for my daughter. The bed is not made of solid wood, as it says in the product specifications, but of a conglomerate covered with a veneer. I purchased this bed because it said it was made of solid wood. There are much cheaper versions of beds made of this material
