I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of this bed. The wood pieces are heavy and quite nicely finished. The platform is formed by many supporting slats and supportive legs. The drawers are plenty large, and easy to pull in and out. I was disappointed about it only having two drawers, and the difficulty to obtain two more drawers. Overall, this bed is sturdy, does not creak or crack, and looks great. The pieces arrived in five boxes, easy to handle, and in excellent condition. All the parts fit well, and the instructions are easy enough for anyone to follow. Great value, great looks, great bed! Peace.
