My daughter bought this for my granddaughter; my wife and I assembled it this weekend. I was impressed by the solid wood construction (no particle board!), by the sturdy design and high-quality hardware. All hardware was packaged separately and identified by number (referenced in the instructions); no loose parts floating in a cardboard box. No missing parts, although I would have appreciated ONE extra wooden dowel -- broke one when I tried to do a step out of order! The finish is nicely done, and held up under the usual handling of assembly.
BTW, granddaughter (age 11) loveeeeeD it. And finally, a great value for the price.
