I really like it more then I thought I would, my only issue being its all particle board with a vinyl veneer. But as long as you're careful when putting it together you'll be fine. With a little forethought it can be assembled by one person, but it's much easier with at least one more set of hands. Plenty sturdy, and its easy to run a rope light along the bottom, outer edge, weaving it through the mattress slats... boom, sweet under lit bed!
