The bed itself is sturdy and as pictured but they came with the WORST instructions ever. Nothing was labeled, all the screws were packaged together so I literally had to go off the pictures in the instructions and create my own labels so it wouldn’t be so annoying when I put it together. Also the slats the mattress lay on were not cut the same length, so some pieces fit more snug than the others. The white paint was chipped on three of the four balls that are at the top of the posts and the paint cracked along a crease on the back rail.
