This bed is pretty simple in design. The assembly was fairly strait/forward, and it seems sturdy enough. It looks nice, and hasnt started falling apart after a three months of use by a hyper nine/year/old boy.
The metal slats come with sticky tape on them to adhere to the mattress. We opted not to use this, as we wanted to flip or maybe change the mattress. So far, we havent had a problem getting the top mattress to stay put. The bottom mattress is a different story.
My main complaint with the bed is the trundle. There is very little clearance between the top of the trundle and the bottom of the main bedframe. With a normal sized mattress, there is no space to even make the trundle, as a comforter would not fit at all. In fact, we have to shove the bed in a bit to make it fit which sometimes knocks the mattress off the frame. This isnt a huge problem, and we expected it, but an extra inch of clearance would have been nice.
Overall, this was a good purchase. It looks nice in the room, seems like it will last a while, and adds sleeping space without ta up floor space. I am happy with my purchase.
