We will have to see how it holds up with time but this bed looks great, is well made and fairly easy to put together. The directions are a bit confusing and could be better, with a simple “1,2,3 design” yet also has “a, b, c” listed when not marked on pieces. The wooden slats are connected and Velcro in place so they don’t slide around - very smart! There are also two non skid strips to help hold your mattress in place. It seems quite sturdy and is perfect for our teens room or a guest bedroom.
