UPDATE: So here we are 4 years later, basically the bed is falling apart. The screws come out, the metal bracket that holds the boards in for the mattress support have completely stripped out and the bed fell in. No activity was going on just sleeping. So Yes the bed is nice, but dont expect to own if for more than a few years. I would think we could have gotten at least 10 years out of it.
So I see a lot of complaints on the quality of the bed. I think the quality is fine. No it isnt solid hardwood but it looks nice and the bed is very durable.
My husband and I are normal sized people and we have had no problems with the bed at all.
The time it took to put together was a lot longer than expected but we wanted to ensure that the bed was put together properly. We had no problem with the drawers at all. We purchased and put this bed together over two months ago. All of the drawers work great. If you find that they arent on the tracks properly it is because your bed is not straight. My husband used a level to insure that all corners were 90 degree angles before putting the drawers in.
It is a great bed and you truly cannot beat the price. We are looking to purchase another one soon for our guest room.
