My granddaughter loves this bed, however I do not like the cam dowels that are used as fastners. It used to be that the dowels would lock into a cam and the pieces of the bed would fit together well. These dowels just go into a hole and expand. They are not very secure. The frame is only secure when you install the bottom panels on the frame. If the frame becomes loose which I think it will, I am going to use corner brackets with bolts to secure the frame. I also did not attach the bookshelf to the frame. That would make the bed very difficult to move. Instructions were easy to follow and overall I like the bed.
