I just received this yesterday and got it put together.
Install: It took 4-5 hours of putting it together. Not difficult, just lots of pieces and lots of patience needed. My fella did it, pretty much entirely by himself and had no issues. It looks very nice in my room.
Quality: I knew when I ordered this I wasnt ordering solid wood, high quality materials so I am not disappointed by what I received. I am hopeful that it will hold up if taken proper care of. Can you cram the drawers full of heavy stuff and expect them not to buckle? No. But they provide awesome extra storage space. I added some wood glue to mine when putting the bottoms in them. Can you expect to beat and bang around the frame and not scratch it up? No. The slats are not as flimsy as I expected and provide pretty good support. It is possible I will eventually replace the slats with a piece of plywood if they begin to get flimsy.
So far Im pleased. My king size mattress is delivered today and then I will get a better feel for how stable the bed feels when sleeping.
So far, so good!
