Very very sturdy, decent instructions. Took about 2 hrs to put together. The arm rails felt a little weak when moving the built bed into place but certainly not bad and one piece of the side of the bed was slightly delaminated in the corner. Since I cannot see the delamination (near the wall) I'm not worried. My 6 yr old loves the look and feel, the drawers are solid, the bed feels very sturdy. Highly recommend for the price.
