This is a good bed. It was complicated to put together, though. I highly recommend using zip ties or rope/bungee cord to keep the base and headboard together as you place it in the frame (see picture for reference). Otherwise the little slats fall out and it is very annoying. Zip ties were a game changer (I used 24 heavy duty zip ties that we had on hand). The bed seems sturdy, but I was disappointed to see that the bolts caused two larger boards to crack. I expected better quality than that. My kids love their new beds, though.
Use zip ties to put together; some cracked .
