I was worried about a mail-order bed, so many of them have bad reviews as being flimsy, but we've been happy with this. It was the first time I'd ever had to assemble anything (that's usually my husband's task, but he'd just had surgery), but I didn't have any trouble getting it together. Frame is sturdy metal pieces. Height is lower than normal bed, which is what we wanted-- elderly dog needed to be able to climb onto it. The drawers are free-rolling, which is a little annoying-- they will technically lock in place with a buttonhole-type arrangement but it's usually too much trouble to engage and occasionally engages on its own and is then hard to pull apart again. Overall though I think it's well worth the price and design concept.
Pleasantly surprised!
