This is a nice bed and serves the purpose well. The wood is a little soft so it seems like it could split a little easily. It is well made and seems strong though. It was easy for me to put together by myself. IT comes in five boxes and all mine arrived at different times which was kind of a hassle. Mine had a little indent in the headboard but not worth sending back and had a slight odor to it. Luckily, we had nice weather and could open up the windows and air out the room.
