This bed is okay. Im honestly not sure how long it will last for my teenager...if it lasts a year, I think we will be lucky, because its very lightweight (and not in a good way). This bed is probably best used for very small children. It says that the weight limit is over 200 pounds, but I just dont see that happening, and our daughter isnt anywhere near that weight.
The slats arent long enough, so we had to screw them in flush against one side (so that there would be some stability), and then drive the screws at an angle on the other side of the slat. If you try to center the slat, there isnt enough overlap on the rail to even screw one end in correctly, and they definitely arent long enough to line the screws up with the premarked points on the rails.
The large silver screws show along the edges of the headboard and footboard. Although this isnt a huge deal, if youre a fan of smoothly finished surfaces and hidden hardware, youll be disappointed.
Ours arrived with brown hand and fingerprints all over it, and I am hoping was dirt...
Not very sturdy.
