As my husband and I assembled it it seemed sturdy and well built.  Went together easily with simple tools.  My daughter loves it.  We did have to modify it a bit to accommodate her type of mattress which requires a solid base and not slates.  But to their credit there were 14 included with the bed.  A shelf accessories to hold a drink and or phone would be nice. Also if it was slightly bigger than the full mattress to make it easier to put sheets on would be nice.  Making a loft bed is not easy as we found out -). Over all great bed for the price and feels surprisingly well built for pine bed.  Would definitely recommend! Two thumbs up.
