This bed is very nice. We purchased it in grey finish, all the pieces a well made. Assembly took a little time and definitely needed two people for one of the steps. The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that it is a bit wobbly, wish there were additional diagonal cross bars for extra stabilization, might have to figure that out myself just for my piece of mind. My 8 year old loves it as well as the fun nook under it.
