I'd buy another one, now that I've put one together.
My daughter lives in it, it has become her lair. Two small glitches: one of the holes on a main crossmember didn't quite line up with the vertical tube on the railing. I drilled a new hole, and all is well. The infernal and deservingly maligned (not to say cursed) work-of-the-devil plastic clips are, as described, inconsistent in their fit, and are a b... a b...well, I didn't put them all in. My daughter won't jump on the bed, and the clips are only to keep the mattress supports in holes into which they already are hooked, with mattress and child on top. You would need to turn the whole thing over the make the supports come out of their little sconces. The bed is solid, doesn't seem to need any additional shear bracing, and once it's attached to the wall, is quite safe and solid in my opinion.
