My wife and I bought this bed for our six year old son.   It seems sturdy and was exactly as pictured.  It was easy to assemble, but did require some time to complete.  We love the antique gray finish and the fact that the dresser drawers are underneath the bed, making it perfect for smaller spaces.  After the bed is assembled, there is a little bit of space under the bed that some other small items can be stored out of the way.  We would definitely recommend this bed, especially for smaller children.  Overall, we love the bed and so does our son.
