Looks and feels very solid. The assembly was a bit tricky, it took a little over 2 hours because the screws and knobs were not what I was used to, but I was able to assemble alone (instructions say it is a 2 person job so that may make things faster). Impressed by how solid and sturdy the bed is (does not shake, the boards to put the mattress over are solid and heavy). My only other con is that the bed is a bit low. The height is perfect for children though. As I'm an adult, I'll just need to get a taller mattress. Overall it works!
