The bedframe looks sharp and is very sturdy, and the cubbies are very spacious. The assembly process, however, was one of the more difficult things I've ever had to do with furniture. Be warned, the instructions say 90 minutes but that is an incredibly optimistic estimate that probably assumes that you are a body-builder and have three people helping you. It really took closer to 3 hours to get done, and a second person was absolutely necessary for some steps.
