I absolutely love the look of this bed! It looks expensive, very tasteful design, the price was great and overall very easy to put together (though the instructions weren't very clear). I had all the parts I needed, which was a concern because of so many of the negative reviews about missing parts. However, I will say, it is definitely not solid wood. It's fiber board with a nice smooth wood laminate. So I did hear a little crack when putting the frame together but overall think it seems sturdy (fingers crossed). But as of now we love it and happy with our purchase.
