Nice bed, however you can see where the savings have been had. Slats dont look that strong but time will tell. There was meant to be a wooden spacer included in the box to ensure consistency in the slat spacing but this was missing. The wooden dowels are also very cheap when compared to what you would get from an Ikea item and also dont fit aswell, therefore requiring the manufacturer to include glue. Not great if you need to take the bed apart if moving house!
Also the vertical wooden piece on the non ladder side of the bed was drilled all the way through where as the horizontal parallel rails were not pre drilled to take this part.
I guess what should you expect for the money, but overall the bed is 3.5 stars a few changes required and this could be a great purchase.
