The bed is over all sturdy and looks nice as a big picture. I was very disappointed in the softness of the wood so every touch made a knick or took off black paint. I have some concerns about how long the railing will last with kids pulling them selves up at top of ladder. 
I had several boards come with flaws and just had to make sure they can face wall or inside mattress. Mine came with places where varnish was missing and scratches in the wood but painted? Need one board replaced that came with crack by bolt. Went and got plywood for bottom bc slats are spaced farther apart so plan on that or bunkie board cost too.
In the end, since I got a good sale deal I am trying not to be as irritated with lack of durability (and my kids have yet to come home and see them). I wouldn't rebuy, especially if full price.
