Finished building this for daughter. Was pretty easy, but instructions couldve been a bit clearer. I made three mistakes where struts were turned around because they only show the holes that were being connected so it was not clear on certain orientations. Putting in all the horizontal struts was a nightmare, as well. All fixable issues though, so I got it together. Seems pretty strong and feel it can hold plenty of weight, but its a bit wobbly with someone up on the bed. If you fasten to a wall, go into a stud. If you have an anchor in drywall, when it wobbles, can create enough torque to pull out the drywall if that is your only anchor. Oh yeah, do yourself a favor and get a torque bit for an electric drill to assemble, using the little allen wrench they supply will take you hours to build this. Overall though pretty nice, opens up the room nicely.
You get what you pay for
