We got this for our beach house.  It is a very sturdy piece and looks fantastic.  There were a few scratches on it but not so bad I felt the need to send back.  Putting it together was def a more than one person job- and I had to literally force the screws in for the slats (no pre existing holes)- but once that was complete it was fine.  Have had a 200 pound football player on top bunk and he said it was comfy!!
