The bed looks wonderful and is very sturdy.  My daughter loves it!  Two things I would have liked better:  one, if the bottom of the top bunk would have been painted so when you are on the bottom looking up, it wouldn't appear unfinished; and two, the trundle was extremely hard to pull out on carpet.  The bottom of the bed dragged the floor and the wheels did not function well as a result.  I purchased two handles and installed them so we could lift up and pull the trundle out and it solved the problem.  We also applied clear corner strips on the front bottom corners so the trundle did not scratch the paint when it was rolled in and out.  One of the parts came broken but the customer service was outstanding and the new part, plus an extra two pieces were shipped very quickly.  Overall, very pleased.
