I should have known this wouldnt feel very sturdy, since it was a lower price than any beds Id seen in person.  The finish is nice (other than the scratches from shipping--it was packed with little to no padding in the boxes!), although, the Merlot is much redder than it looked online.  The drawers are pretty flimsy.  I hope it will hold up, but Im not confident this will be a long-term bed.
