The slats are plywood, and flexible enough that I doubt theyre particularly strong. Theyre also short enough that you have to align them with equal space on both ends, or else the screws will be close enough to the surface of the rail support that theyll break through. The construction seems like a bed bugs dream home countless crevices to hide in, that could have been avoided with different design although it would add to the cost, of course.
The formaldehyde smell that others have mentioned was strong. Several parts were unlabeled also as others have said, and a couple were mislabeled. The allen key was in with the largest and most numerous type of bolt, so I didnt think it had been included until I was almost done. I have a ratchet set that works better anyway. Assembly was fairly easy, but long.
On the other hand, the kids like it, and it was the second-cheapest one I saw on .
You get what you pay for.
