Biggest downside- the pieces arent labeled for assembly. I was able to figure out which was which by carefully comparing the pieces to the images but that did take time and some are quite similar. Additionally the bed has a piece that need to be reversed for the drawers to fit yet there is mention of that until you build the drawers. So we had to take the bed half apart to switch that. Also some of the pegs were loose so they would fall out as we were connecting them. Seems sturdy although I told the kids no jumping cause the wood seems like it could crack with too much force. Kids especially love the door access to under the bed. I brought two- one honey and one merlot. Took me and my 14yr old 2 hours from open the box to done (drawers took half hour) for one bed. I imagine the next one will be faster as I know which pieces go where but well see. (Took 1 1/2 hours)
Would like the screw tops on the top of the shelf to not be visible and for there to be a side to cover under the bed opposite of the drawers.
One drawer piece was broken in box- customer service was very nice and quick. They immediately sent a replacement part.
So far so good,kids love it
