This is a solid wood, sturdy piece of furniture. So cleverly designed, the 2nd bed is under the first on casters, so you roll it out, pick up one end and the legs just snap out, then pick up the other end and snap out those legs. Boom! Two twin beds! I had some confusion putting the beds together so I called the number on the box and got the manufacturer! He talked me right through it. I am thrilled with this bed.
