This bed is REAL WOOD. Not particle board. Not press board. Not fiber board. Arrived in a timely fashion. Instructions were clear, with the exception of page 4 of 7 for the drawer assembly. Be careful with that step. All joints and holes lined up exactly. Took me 2 12 hours to assemble everything. Some mild odor, but really a nice smell of wood,  nothing like the noxious fumes we had from other furniture we purchased from a well known discount retailer. I highly recommend this. We purchased the FULL size with bottom drawers.
