Overall, Id say this bed is poor quality. Does it meet the needs for my family  Kind of. The wood is extremely poor quality. There are so many cracks in it that I actually took the beds apart so they could both be on the ground since I dont trust them to stay together. I have to tighten the screws at least once every week and notice new cracks in the wood all the time. It wasnt an expensive set, but it wasnt cheap either. Purchase with caution.
