The bed seems sturdy. The headboard of the top bunk came cracked and in less than an hour of submitting a request for replacement part I had multiple emails notifying me of when the new part would ship and be delivered. My biggest complaint would be the black screws. If you look closely at the pictures the white bed does not show any screws but if you look at the natural and espresso beds you can see all the screws in all the pictures. To me this is deceiving.
