This was my first Wayfair purchase, and I was beyond pleased. Not only does the Merlot finish look even more amazing in person, it was easy to assemble, and solid! My only recommendation would be if you have an older child, to opt for the trundle option, rather than the drawers because they are not that big, and the bottoms are plywood so stuffing clothes is definitely not a long-term option. However, other than the drawers, the rest of the bed is solid, no plywood, including the back of the bookcase. Highly recommend.
