Did my research and reluctantly bought the bed for my son's room. It was a little hard to assemble because it was hard to screw in the nuts but still took less than hour to completely assemble. I had to leave the middle rail support out as it couldn't fit in the middle of the frame. As mentioned in the other reviews, the frame had some scratches. 
To my surprise, the bed is sturdy enough to even withstand young boys' wrestling on the bed. It gives a great vintage feel to the room. It is perfect for both boys and girls. I am very happy and completely satisfied with the purchase. 

Pros: Sturdy, great finish
Cons: none
