This bed is reminiscent of the bed my husband used to have when he was growing up.  It is sturdy and was easy to put together. It was delivered sooner than expected and that worked great for us.  The only reason I did not give it a five, is because the finish scratches easily.  I would recommend it to a friend 

Pros: Great value.  Easy to assemble and very sturdy
Cons: Must be careful not to scrape pieces together too hard. It may scratch off painted finish.
