I wanted to give this bed 5 stars, but I have to be honest and say that it is not constructed well. It is heavy and seems to be a quality product, but once it is assembled, you have to tighten the screws frequently! It does not stay together securely on any of the 4 sides. There isnt anything holding them together at the top, so it is easy to push and loosen the screws at the base of the bed. It says that there is a way to lock the screws in, but I have yet to figure this out. Its impossible to align the dow rods that are supposed to provide extra security.
