This is a solid bed! Feels very well put together as I was assembling. Only issue I had was with one of the support beams for the back of the drawers that fits under the slats; it was not notched properly so I had to take a handsaw to it and open it cut off half an inch. Since this lies under the slats and is never seen, not a big deal. I would have definitely gave the full 5 starts if it wasn't for that issue. Looks great and should last a long time.
