The bed was easy to put together and all the parts fit together well.  I was able to do it alone in about 2 and a half hours, but it would probably go faster with two people. It seems sturdy; I've only slept on it once, but it didn't have problems squeaking or shaking. The only drawback is that the images posted do not match the actual product.  There are very prominent silver bolts at the front, where the advertised image has them photoshopped out. They stand out and detract from the profile of the bed in my opinion, but overall it seems like a reasonable deal for the price.
