The bed is well built and sturdy -- especially considering the low price.
The only complaint, as others have mentioned, is it is easy to goof the instructions and get in trouble when it is time to secure the ladder.
My suggestion: Mount the ladder BEFORE connecting the cross-rails and securing them with the plastic snaps. That way you can make adjustments to place the ladder in the right orientation BEFORE reaching the point of no return. I ordered and set up two beds. On the first, I goofed and had to go to home depot to buy a bolt, a washer, and a nut and we had to drill an extra hole. On the second bed, I followed my above suggestion and we didn't have any problems mounting the ladder.
