Get this bed!! Do not second guess yourself! It is made of solid wood and SUPER sturdy and really well made. The directions and pieces are very simple (have someone help hold it up during the some of the process but you will need it). I love that how the bed was designed to be put together just makes perfect sense and it’s really easy to assemble. So so glad I took the time to research this bed and read other peoples comments as well, it was the best decision. Order this bed and you will love it!!! Oh AND it’s even prettier in person, looks very high quality.
