The bed arrived quickly and most parts were in good shape.  The fabric on the back of the head board was ripped in a few spots from rubbing on other parts.  In general the bed is sturdy.  We were hoping to have the bed placed a little out from the wall, but the head board doesn't seem quite sturdy enough for that, combined with the rips it will need to be placed against the wall.  Fairly easy to assemble with myself and a young teen helping. The feet under the drawer section are plastic, but seem sturdy enough.  The other legs under the slats are wood.  It is not heirloom quality, but should last many years.
