My daughter absolutely wanted a bed with drawers for her daughter and it was hard to find a decent one at a decent price-- this fit the bill. It's not solid wood which made me weary, but the look is very pretty and girlie and seems sturdy so far-- only time will tell if it was a wise purchase.  The details on the headboard with space for books and knick knacks is a great feature and best of all my granddaughter LOVES it!! Takes about 3 hours for 2 people to put together.
