If I were just rating for how happy I am with the finished bed, I would give this 5 stars, unquestionably. Im in love: beautiful, solid wood, so stable, excellent quality, lovely stain. A few quibbles that got it a 4 (which feels unfairly low): almost everything is solid wood, but the (MDF) backs of the drawer cabinets were stapled poorly and coming off, and torn in one corner. They were no problem to tack on, but still... shouldnt have to. And the year wont affect function at all. Additionally, when assembling sides to headboard and footboard, some screw holes were badly misaligned, which created a headache. Assembly in general was onerous, but I honestly expect that with massive furniture: just fair warning. But if you can get through the headache, I imagine youll be so happy with the end result.
Beautiful result; bit of a headache getting there
