This bed is sturdy and wonderful. It doesn't squeak, and it's a great value for the price. The instructions for the bed and the workstation are separate, though, and that's the only problem. The bed has very clear, detailed instructions that made it a simple matter to assemble, but when I got to the workstation bit, I had to disassemble the bed and reassemble it.
Part of the desk was damaged during shipping. The company has a very long form requiring every detail from the invoice, shipping label, AND assembly instructions, but they did replace it. It took a week. That was kind of a pain, but the broken piece was replaced, so I won't complain about that.
Overall, I'm very happy. I did not expect it to be such a sturdy piece for the price. If I could change anything, I'd like to see the bars at the top have an opening to make climbing up and down: they go all the way around, and it's fairly difficult to get up and down with such high bars.
Read ALL of the assembly instructions.
