I got this so we could move my son out of his toddler bed. His room is also small, so having the extra storage is great. I recommend two people to put this bed together. It takes about an hour or so. Once together it is very sturdy. It compares to furniture from the big stores. It is MDF with a fake espresso veneer. It will scratch easily. The mattress does not fit snugly in the bed. There is an inch or so on the top and bottom, I just tuck the comforter in to fill the space. My sons toddler tail fits on the perfect! It is a perfect expresso color to match our furniture. It looks great once together and is what we needed.
Now my pet peeves with this set. The drawers are small for the amount of space under the bed. One of my drawers would not slide, no matter what I did. This involved the manufacturer sending me new parts, which was an easy and pleasant experience. In the end I discovered that the pre drilled holes on the front piece needed to be moved in and every other part needed cut down in the process. Im picky and did do this in about a half-hour. If your kid is a little older and your drawer sticks I recommend drop down hinges. Those would also allow you to use all the space underneath the bed.
Overall I am happy with it after the adjustments.
Good but issue with drawer
