We ordered two of these beds for our 6 and 8 year old sons. We wanted matching beds that could have the drawers on either side. The beds arrived on time and were well packed. Assembly is straightforward for any competent DIYer, requiring only basic tools to complete the job. We glued the dowels for extra strength although the instructions didn't mention this. Once assembled the beds are sturdy and the drawers work well. The quality of the wood is good for the price, although it is a bit on the soft side, so will likely be easily marked by two young boys. On the plus side as we ordered the waxed beds any marks can be waxed over. The finish was lighter than I expected looking at the images on the website so I gave both beds a coat of stripped pine wax to make them look more mellow and older in appearance. All in all a great bed for the money and would certainly recommend this product.
