Okay for a guestroom or growing children, certainly not long term/heavy usage
Other buyers had issues with the shipping of this item (exposed/ruined wood) but we did not. It came double-boxed and all of the pieces were in good condition. The company does not give you one piece of extra hardware, so do not misplace any or you'll find yourself without enough hardware to complete the job. It was for certain a 2 person job, at times we needed a third person. Be sure to use a good quality (we used Gorilla wood glue) and that helped a lot. Also, the wood slats for the mattress supports only suggested screwing down every few boards, but we got some 2 inch deck screws and screwed down every single mattress support slat on both sides and that helped quite a bit as well. We have this item in our guest room for visiting family and grand kids. I think it will serve its purpose there well but would not honestly expect it to hold up to heavy daily use. 4 out of 5 stars for its mediocre quality and to be honest I believe it was a bit overpriced at almost $700. I will need to place some metal braces on it from Lowe's to help the wiggly nature of it. It will serve us well for guests.
