I am 73 years old and the bed took me a few hours to assemble.  Seems to be sturdy,  however drawers are difficult to open.  Have to be in the slot just right  I suppose if I had a complaint, it would be the instructions are pictures only and there are absolutey NO SPARE PARTS.  One of the two larger wooden dowels I put in the wrong place and I had to break it to remove it  Since, there wasn't a spare, I had to go and buy a package of 35 to get the ONE I needed.  My grand daughters were pleased with it and that's all that counts.
