A very solid bed which is very well made. As a consequence it is very heavy and quite difficult to put together, took much longer than expected!
However, once fully constructed it is extremely sturdy.  The drawers open and close easily and add a reasonable storage for jumpers, shoes and clothes 
as required. I chose a medium mattress which is fine but sinks below the bed frame when you sit on it and is quite uncomfortable. I feel it could do with something on the base to make it higher or firmer. I did quite a lot of research before purchasing this bed and have to say for the price it represents good value for the price.
