I'm not impressed at all with this bed. The wood is cheaply milled, not all of the pre-drilled holes were fully through, and some of the grooves needed to be cleared out. Three pieces were broken on arrival, even though the packaging wasn't overtly damaged, so I would hardly call it "solid" wood. The instructions are terrible, with no words, just pictures. None of the pieces are labeled, so you need to guess which way things should be going, which piece to use, and what something should look like. For something that cost this much, I would expect far better quality.
