Update after about 3 months of using this bed, it now creaks so much it’s completely unbearable. We will probably get rid of it. 

Original review Sturdy bed, easy to assemble. It took me and my husband about 3 hours, but would have been faster if we hadn’t let our 3 year old “help.”  The wood had some noticeable gouges on the back side, but nothing visible and I don’t think any that would compromise the structure. The style comes across a little more log cabin than I expected, but it would fit in well with many decor styles.
