My daughter loves this bed. Took about two hours to put together myself but she absolutely loves it. This was not the bed I intended to order, but after 2months of waiting only to find out that the bed I ordered was discontinued and they weren't going to ship me the other parts to it, I had to pick this one. Sturdy for sure. Although the bed frame go scratched when attaching the slide to the frame. There was no way around it.
