We have had this for over a year now- and we adore it.  The wood is a little soft and dings, but no terrible.  Our boys have had many restful nights of slumber and slumber parties. Well made!  Pay attention when putting it together about which side to drill the slats. We did the wrong side at first and had to take them all out and start over, and now have drill holes underneath.  Took 3 adults 2 hours to put together.  Great item!
