The bed looks great, isn't too hard to assemble and showed up with the drawers already assembled. We did have to add some extra bracing to the bed. It isn't flimsy but a nine year old jumping on and off was making the foot of the bed out of line with the headboard/shelves. We added extra bracing to the drawer unit to help brace the bed better. The drawers are smooth and offer lots of needed storage. There is only one set of drawers that can be put on either side of the bed. The pictures show drawers on both sides but the description does tell you there are only six drawers. If there were drawers on both side there would be 12 (for the model shown). I would recommend this bed if you are putting it against a wall. It is in the middle of our son's room and is honestly a little awkward given the size and drawers only one side.
