The finished product is beautiful and sturdy and looks great in my son’s room. I love the extra storage since he has a small room and he loves the fact that there is a secret door to the underside of the bed he can play in. I docked a star because they sent us wooden slats instead of the promised metal slats and one of the drawers was broken upon arrival. They did replace the drawer, but not the slats. Also, be prepared for a very long assembly (2-3 hours), though it may be shorter if you can get a second person to help.
