I was surprised at the good quality especially for the price. I didn't want to spend much because it's a spare bed for my 2 year old daughter that I think she will outgrow soon. As I was putting it together (a breeze to assemble) my teen-aged daughter kept commenting on how nice it was to be so light-weight in the box. It also seems to be very sturdy. I'm very pleased with this product. In a couple of years I plan to pass this along to my niece who is pregnant right now.
