This is a great bed. You must re-tighten after a week or two!
My daughter and I put this together in about 2 hours. Two important things to remember: make sure the top rails are on the right side AND facing the right way(starter holes for connecting rails/ladder are on ONE side), Make sure the bottom rail IS the bottom rail (it wont have any starter holes). It seems not very sturdy at first, but once put together and tightened, it is impressive for this price range. I dont recommend this for a child that is rambunctious and will try to swing from the rail, bounce around or sway the bed. Its not a toy or a dance platform. It will loosen over time with that kind of force and become unstable. After two weeks my daughter said it became shaky so I re-tightened all the bolts (dont over tighten or you will strip the nuts) and that took care of it. A great bed for a great price!
