I’m SO happy I bought this bed to replace my old kreaking disaster! This bed has a very good looking pine surface; it is very easy to assemble from the inside of the bed frame; it came with a super little ratchet to tighten the bolts, which are really solid; the mattress boards are made of plywood and very strong, and sticks to the bed frame with Velcro ribbons; there are two “sticky” strips on the boards to keep the mattress on place; and there are a couple of spare bolts/screws/washers. All in all, quite a bit better than I expected for the price!
