Overall, we love the bed. The kids especially so. I cannot give this the full 5 stars as we did experience some issues. The directions weren't as clear as they could have been and some pieces were not labeled which led to some pieces being initially installed improperly. There were also a few predrilled holes that were not as predrilled as they looked. This led to one piece actually cracking during installation which luckily my husband was able to fix. We also found a few scratches and white marks on the outer pieces that will not come off. We also braced it slightly out of an overabundance of caution as it was just a bit wobbly. It could be our carpeting. It doesn't feel very wobbly when you're laying on it though. Like I said, overall, we love this bed. Just pay close attention while building it and you'll love it too.
