Wow talk about easy assembly.  This took just my 61 year old to put together and set up.  Easy instructions. It felt heavy in the box, but once together, was not as the weight is spread out.  I like the slats they do not look like they will break.  I like the wood ...everything was as it should be (holes in the right place, no missing pieces, etc.).  No headboard, but I did not want one for it.  The trundle as just as easy and was even faster than the original bed.  It looks very good, waiting for the new mattress to settle and smell to go away before making it up.  Fits the room great.  I haven't decided if I am staining or painting it yet.  The wood was not cracked, few knots, but just added texture-they were sanded and everything, just could be seen. Yes have not been able to keep the cat off the bed, seems to like this. I'll upload the photo when it comes.
