We received this bed as promised.  Shipping was long but well worth the wait.  Bed was in great shape and assembly was about as easy as it gets!  After assembly and once we put the matress on the bed, it was very sturdy and safe.  We need to make every inch of my daughters room count and this did the job.  She has been spending more time at her desk and reading in her bed.  Hard to believe a new loft bed could change all of that!  Great product, only thing that could make it better is if it had been made in the United States.  Can't have it all I suppose.
