Overall, we like this bed, and we ordered 2 for each of our sons. Pros: Easy assembly, the wood seems solid and not pressed board.The company provides extra hard ware which is nice.  Cons: I don't think this can be helped where it's a slat bed, but the bed creaks a lot when changing positions. It's not a deal breaker but it is noticeable. The other thing that was annoying is that the connector screws are tightened with an allen wrench provided, but these screws were easy to strip. Guess that's why they give extra hard ware. Other than we like the beds a lot.
