The bed itself is a solid well-made bed for the price.  Made from MDF board with a laminate overlay so it is not solid wood, but very sturdy.

My issue is with the assembly parts.  There were 8 cup parts included which screw into the side boards to hold the support slats underneath the bed.  They were made out of cheap plastic and once I attached them and pushed the support slats into them, 4 out of 8 of the cups split!  This forced me to take a trip to the hardware store in the middle of the assembly in order to purchase some metal braces to attach underneath these cups so the support slats would not push out through the bottom of the split cups.  Very frustrating!!  Why would you design an assembly part out of plastic when this assembly part serves such an important function like holding the support slat in place  Grade F for this.  The only reason I give this bed a 3 star rating is because the rest of the bed is a good design and sturdy.
