Not all of the holes were pre-drilled which made this bed harder to put together than I expected. Also, the holes you link the side rails to the headboard with were not long enough so we had to drill those out longer to set the bed frame on the highest setting to fit the trundle under it. If they could fix some of the construction aspects, this would have been much easier to put together. Overall, the bed looks nice in the bedroom and seems pretty sturdy.
