Its a sturdy, easy to put together bed; you just need someone to help you. Not all the pieces are square or have their pilot holes drilled to the quarter inch, so you need someone to help you hold everything together till you can screw it together. It is made of sturdy wood, and the length of the bed is divided in half for easier shipping; so that middle leg you see in the picture is also hiding the bracket that connects the two halves in place. 
Good sale item, especially when you've invested in a larger crib mattress for your 2 year old.
