We are incredibily impressed with this bed - We were trying to step up into a nicer bed for our 5 year old, but didn't want to spend 1000.00 on a twin bed that he will outgrow. We found this one, but were very hesitant bc the price was low and since we could physically feel the wood, we didn't know what kind of quality it was going to be... I couldn't have been happier once we got it together (with my husband and I doing it together took about 30 minutes). Once everything was up we realized it was sturdy, quality wood, easy to open - perfect for what we were looking for - and you can't find a price like that anywhere for this quality (trust me we looked!).
