Love love love this bed.  The railings are metal, so it feels super secure.  I put the bed together myself.  It can be done by one person 2-3 hours with small breaks. 
Im 53 and not super strong.  Instructions are easy if you follow them.  The color is nice and easy to match with other rustic brown furniture brands.  The drawers are very big, and there is space for your small fur babies to sleep under the bed if they are like mine.  Its perfect.
