This is a very sturdy bed. It looks flimsy in the picture, but I'm telling you, it is really sturdy. We bought two white ones, and at first I was pretty mad. We bought the one that had the photo with the little corner desk, and I thought that came with it. Upon further review, this was my bad. It never ever said it came with it. So that being the only issue, this bed is awesome. We came back later and bought two more (four kids total) and now they have their own computer desks underneath with tons of room to play in the rest of the room. My only 'complaint' is that they don't sell that corner desk separately, because that is exactly what I'm looking for and I can't seem to find that same one anywhere. ASSEMBLY: Assembly isn't bad at all. I can do most of it by myself, but when it comes to the top rails at the very end, I needed help. This is due to the fact that I only have two arms, and it requires four to hold it steady on one side and get the screw started, while keeping the other end from plopping out and making you start over. That was the only difficult thing about it. All four beds came with all pieces, screws, and tools that it was supposed to. PRICE: I know prices change, but assuming it stays about the same, this ended up being a pretty good value. I have Prime shipping so that was free, and I always think things cost too much. But in researching, this was a really sweet price for such a nice bed.
