I would categorize this purchase differently depending on which item was being reviewed and wish I could do so. The bed I would give a 4 and the trundle I would give a 1 or 2.
Some overall takeaways are that this is more
Composite wood than I thought there would be. I suppose this is to make it easier to ship, yet thought it was important to note.
There are about 10 flats that go under the mattress for both the trundle and the bed. I do think this bed would make me nervous with someone who weighs more than 200 pounds, as the flats are really pretty thin and small.
The bed, aside from being made more of composite than I thought, is really pretty easy to assemble and think the parts I received were of good quality.
The trundle I received was not great. The drawers wouldnt align with their spaces and kept falling out of their brackets. I thought that this might have been my error, but after disassembling and reassembling the trundle a second time I took a closer look at the drawers. The brackets on each, as a result of the drawers being made of composite wood, were loose and the screws were slipping out of their holes. Sure enough, less than a month after putting the bed and trundle together, one of the brackets on one of the drawers simply fell off last night. I am pretty angry that it just simply fell off. I would not recommend the trundle at this time, but would absolutely recommend the bed.
