The assembly instructions could have been better, but we were able to get the bed together properly after a little thinking.  They sent extra fasteners in case some got dropped/misplaced, and I really appreciated that.  There were some minor issues with the stain, but nothing that couldn't be hidden.  I don't like that the backing of the dresser section is just some cheap laminate which is different from any other part of the bed.  There could have been a better effort to make it match, since that's the part that you see when sleeping on the lower bunk. Overall I'm very happy with the price, quality and appearance of my purchase. What I expected is exactly what I received.
