Compared to other beds available, this bed is beyond normal levels of sturdy construction. The wood is sanded, but unfinished - this leaves it up to you if you want to leave it as it, stain it, varnish it, linseed etc. The pieces are perfectly cut - I didnt have any trouble getting holes to line up at all. Theres instructions included and theres good instructions on youtube too. It IS heavy since the wood is substantial, and some dowels are a little touch to knock in, but its hardly difficult, and it goes together very strong.
The included hardware is also great. A lot of manufacturers give cheap metal screws. These are great. No twisted screw heads, and the hex heads are pretty good too - nothing stripped after applying a generous amount of torque.
The slats are impressively thick compared to other beds we looked at, and the two center braces give a really rigid feel to the structure.
The finished product doesnt rock or shift (my wife and daughter and I all climbed in on this). It looks neat, and theres a lot of room under the bed which is great because we need storage.
10/10 would buy again...
