It was pretty easy to put together, the wood/finish looks nice although overall the wood legs/slats are a bit thinner than I expected. It seems sturdy, though. There was one small split coming from one of the pre-drilled screw holes, but it's on the back side. I probably would have rated it lower if the split was on the front and visible. Overall it was a good purchase for price, especially if it lasts through the toddler years.
