Bought two great value for the money, durable. Our box came looking like it had been to war so I was quite concerned about the product but everything was in perfect condition! So extra credit to the interior packaging!
Total build took us 3.5 hours but that includes one fifteen minute break and one major direction issue! We used a drill rather than the provided key but made sure to have it on a low power setting and not to very tighten. Wed probably still be working if we had just used the key. We also did need the recommended rubber mallet as some of the wooden dowels used for assembly did not want to go in. The issue we had was that the lower headboards support the desk and they have a correct direction that is not indicated in the directions. Thanks to some quick thinking we were able to correct the issue without too much trouble but it cost us about a half hour to so.
The product seems like it is made from quality wood. We didnt encounter any splitting and after building the bed and desk seem quite sturdy.
The biggest issue didnt have to do with the item itself but the delivery. It took quite awhile for it to come and I had paid for delivery on a particular date and time and they missed the delivery date and I had to wait five additional days. Since I had already sold the bed we had my daughter ended up sleeping on a mattress on the floor for a week. So definitely build in some extra shipping time to your plan.
Shipping was SLOW, but the bed desk are great
