Great quality - sturdy. My 3 1/2 year old loves it! I read all the reviews before purchasing and was a bit worried about installation being tough.  However, the instructions (all pictures) were very clear. Tips: organize (lay out and label all hardware before installation and organize bed pieces by number.  Look at the pictures closely for placement of holes and right/left stickers.  The unpacking, organizing, and assembly took me (a mom) about 6 hours.   It wasn’t terrible but was a bit more work than my crib assembly. Cons: the underside is just the open slats so your tucked sheets hang down Unless you strategically tuck them.  Making this bed will be slightly more effort.  Overall I’m very satisfied with the bed and the effort was well worth it!
