For the price paid it fell a little short. The paint job on the white model was very poor. Numerous spots where it looks like it got only 1 coat of paint instead of 2 and you can see the dark wood underneath. Also, spots where the paint is chipped off. No end caps to cover the screws. Unsightly dark lines on the headboard in the vertical seams. It should have been caulked or painted better. The bed feels very sturdy.  I'm 220lbs and my little one is 38lbs and there is no creaking of the bed. It does have an odor, maybe from the packaging, hoping that fades away.
