It's solidly built and has plenty of storage. The assembly time suggested for the product is not long enough. My husband is experienced at building things, and it still took about 3 hours to assemble. There were a few knicks in the pieces when we received them, but once assembled with the mattress, they're not visible. Otherwise, the instructions were relatively clear with lots of illustrations. The hardware was easy to work with, and the assembly resulted in a good, solid platform bed.
