I wasn't sure how good this bed would be since it was so reasonably priced, but I was pleasantly surprised. The finish is good and the only rough bits of wood are hidden once it's built, a solid frame and not a bit of MDF or laminate in sight. A couple of pieces had knots making the screws a bit awkward, but nothing a drill or a strong arm and a good screwdriver couldn't overcome. The directions were clear and it was fairly straightforward to put together. It helps to have a second person for the larger sections and to get it completed faster, as there are a lot of screws. All in all a very solid, quality bed at an unbelievably good price.
