I am thoroughly impressed how solid this product is. Was expecting a lighter, flimsier bed for the money. It not only looks expensive, it feels expensive.
1. Instructions are very clear and if followed to a t, there will be no problems.
2. All the hardware is packed and marked - not just a big bag of nuts and bolts. All you need to assemble is an allen wrench, which is included. However, an electric one would not hurt, as it will save you an hour or two.
3. All the holes are pre-drilled and prepared very accurately, so everything alligned well. Second pair of hands never hurts, but not mandatory in this case.
4. The drawers (internal walls and bottom) are not wood, made from light semi-transparent flexible plastic on a thin metal frame. It makes it actually easier to assemble, easy to open and close- glide right in and out, but I would not store there anything too heavy. The drawers have a tiny lock mechanism, so they stay in place. They are quite shallow, but there are no miracles
Time will of course show how this bed serves and what abuse it can take from an active 10 year old, but so far - I am very happy with this purchase.
Solid bed, beautiful design, good instructions
