This bed is so much better than I could have imagined. As a single mom, it was easy to assemble, took some time, but completely doable. The assembly kit came with extra screws, bolts, etc, just incase. The fame is SOLID wood, and heavy. I have two very hyper boys jumping on it all the time, and it holds up. The trundle under the main twin slides out easily, even my two year old can do it. There isn't a ton of room underneath the bed, so I leave the comforter in storage when the trundle is not in use.  I am very happy with this purchase and would do it again in a heartbeat.
