This bed is great. We bought this for our 3-year-old daughter as a "budget" choice but are very happy with how well-built it is and we know it will last a long time. 
Two suggestions for anyone who buys it:
I used a countersink to sink the screws into the slats so they didn't get snagged on the mattress. Also, where the center beam (that holds the slats) attaches to the bracket on the footboard I had to use washers to make it fit more snugly since the wood was about 1/8" smaller than the bracket. Then I used a bigger wood screw than was included to secure the wood to the bracket. 
Just two minor non-required things that might help in the long run.
