Almost all real wood, easy to assemble, good value
I was pleasantly surprised with this bed. Instructions were clear and well thought/out with little room for error. They provided some extra hardware which was nice as well.
Everything except the footboard insert is real wood, and even that insert is still pretty high quality and durable feeling MDF. We went with the finish which was smooth and consistent with no areas really missing paint. Assembly took about 45 mins even with my daughter excitedly helping me put it together.
My only gripe about the bed and the only reason Im deducting a star is that the slats are too few. The space between them seems considerably larger than expected and you can sort of feel it even with a quality mattress on top of it. I may add more slats later myself. I like how they have all the slats connected together with a stapled canvas so that you dont have to space them yourself, just put both ends tucked into each corner and everything else is spaced accordingly. Only problem there is the wood is so soft that a lot of the pocket screws dont grab and I had to forego the pocket holes all together and just screw straight down into the wood and into the frame vertically instead of at a 45 degree angle.
Overall great value for the money though and would not hesitate to recommend. You could certainly do a lot worse for the price.
