I really like this bed, which I purchased for my son. It seems really sturdy, although I do agree with other reviews that the wood seems like it will scratch easily. I found the instructions easy to follow, and I easily put it together with a bit of help from my son holding certain pieces. The box it comes in was really heavy. Thankfully, we had a dolly. I measured with the given specs before ordering, and I knew with his tall mattress, there wouldn't be much room at the top. But I was fine with that. The trundle is nice, although it doesn't roll easily on carpet. That is not a big deal for us. Overall, I am really happy with the bed.
