Very cute and sturdy! Was a pain to assemble the slats. Fasten the middle one first to both rails, then do one slat at a time working your way to the ends. One of the rails did come damaged, just scratched pretty good at one end. We put that side against the wall and will just paint it later if needed. Otherwise, it’s really cute and very sturdy. We did not use a box spring since it’s for my 2 year old, and it’s the perfect height.
