I found this to be great value for the price. It is made from solid wood rather than particle board. It will take a bit of time to assemble. I managed in about 3 hours, but if you are not very handy you might set aside all day. Also, be aware that it will arrive in two separate boxes and not necessarily on the same day.
Ordered the “honey” colored to match the other “honey” colored furniture and now we have three different shades of “honey”, probably not the fault of the bed manufacturer, but something to keep in mind.
The packaging is good. Very few dings and scratches, nothing major. The load bearing components are solid wood ( not single pieces - I could see the zig zag patterns of wood joinery at many places). I think they are rubber wood with the finish you order ( I got oak). The sides and bottom of the drawers, the top of drawer chest and the covering for footboard are MDF The Hardware screws/bolts are pretty sturdy - but no extras except for a couple of wooden small screws. The bolts/screws are neatly packaged in numbered bags. If you can, open packaging in garage or outside to avoid the styrofoam bits spreading around the home. The sliding components could have been better - cheap plastic and some sheet metal. Assembly was time consuming ( because of the 6 drawers), but the main frame was a breeze. The fitting after full assembly is very good.
I got this for 3 year old, but the bed sits pretty high - the first thing she did was use the drawer fronts as steps to climb the bed Repeated usage like that might damage the drawers - I plan to push the drawer chest atleast 3 inches inside to discourage the kid from climbing on the drawers.
The kid jumped on the bed and there were no creaking sounds. The slats are plywood planks - looked strong with a good flex.
Overall, pretty good for the money. There is formaldehyde emission certification in case you are worried about buying for kid's room. My main concern is the width and thickness of the side plank - will update if anything breaks with an active 3 year olds usage. Overall, good buy.
I just recieved and put them together. We will see how they hold up. I have two boys 10 and 6. The instructions were easy enough to follow and get them put together. The quality of the wood is what you pay for. Not the best, but what do you expect at this price?
To start....not the highest quality wood....but you are not paying for solid wood. The design was exceptional!!!! The instructions were the best I have had in years!!!! You are really purchasing two items. One is a bed and the second is a drawer module that holds the 8 drawers. When put together the module fits perfectly under the bed. Building time was 3.5 hours....so expect to spend time on it. Everything fit together really well. The packaging was excellent...not one damaged item.
It was a rough start. The bed had to be shipped twice due to being lost the first time. Second delivery was much faster and more efficient. The bed came with easy to follow instructions. The bed was shipped in two, heavy, but manageable boxes.
Got my son's bed in two boxes as stated however they came at the same time and not at different times which I was happy. It was very easy to put together and very good material. So far, the bed has been used for about a month now, I'm getting my money's worth.

sturdy solid wood but . . .
Bed frame is solid wood and should last for years, but the drawers do not fit properly and basically useless.
Hard to assemble
Very long to put together!!!!!! Came slightly banged up due to not great packaging. Overall though, it’s nice for the money. Love the drawers.
Wonderful Bed!
What a difference in comfort! My back is thanking me!! Easy to assemble too!
Great value for the price.

Decent quality, simple assembly instructions, seems sturdy

Should work fine for kids.
