The bed is very nice looking, the lift mechanism seems to be of good quality. Only had it for 1 week so only time will tell. 
One issue was the pre-drilled holes for the side rails were not correct and therefore when put the together made the bed out of square and harder to lift and shut the storage. We had to go to the hardware store ourselves and drill new holes. Which worked out great but a big inconvenience. 
All in all I do love the look and will enjoy the additional storage.
