This bed is nice and sturdy.  It was easy to assemble for my husband and I, BUT there were two major misprints in the instructions.  The first one we didn’t catch until more than 34 of the way through and had to loosen all the screws to switch two parts.  The second one was easy to figure out and didn’t cause any delays.  Our 8yo daughter LOVES this bed and we are VERY pleased with our purchase!
