Its a cute bed. Perfect height for my five year old daughter.It was easy to put together. Will take two people approx 2 1/2 hours. The wood was real wood. Solid, once fully together. Only reason it lost a star is because the wood was a little wonky. There were a few visible cracks even though the wood was well packaged. It was a concern while assembling the bed. Only time will tell if the hairline cracks will become an issue.
