This is a lovely bed and once its put together its perfect for any princess.BUT its a bugger to put together and its mostly particle board. When you start construction you better know exactly where you want it because once its together youre NOT moving it anywhere, and you better have extra (strong) hands to help you. I ended up breaking one piece twice. The first time it broke I contacted and they replaced that piece immediately. I didnt bother contacting them a second time but managed to make due as is. Also, one last piece of advice..DONT skip the step where you screw the slat hangers in, I did and now Im having to re/do that part. Very Sturdy product.
Putting together took me 4 hours. After a few weeks the drawers started to come apart, I just put them back together with some wood glue and no issues since. The bed has held very well in the months My daughters had it. Very heavy bed. yes we like it.
My daughter (4) loves her new bed! It is sturdy enough that I can lay in the bed with her until she falls asleep. The sides are high enough that I do not have to worry about her falling off the bed. The hide away area is perfect for a book nook or a mini clubhouse. We purchased color changing light strips and adhered them to the bottom of the bed in the play area. Packaging was not damaged when they arrived, and neither were any of the beds parts.
Issues: It took a full day to put the bed together, but opening one box at a time made it easy. It said not to use a power drill, however, we set ours to sensitive and had to use one. The holes were not predrilled. They are marked, but my husband had to predrilled them in order to not damage the wood or ruin the screws.
That being said everything else went together smoothly. Very easy to set up!
When this bed arrived, the boxes were destroyed. Several pieces were damaged; including the doors. We were also missing the drawer bottom for the desk drawer. My husband went to the hardware store, and bought wood to make one after reading reviews about their costumer service. The ladder is very uncomfortable to climb as it is straight up and down with no where to hold on to. My daughter has asked that we make her a new ladder. Everything else about the bed is awesome, and my daughter loves the hideout! Overall, the good outweighed the bad. The bed is very sturdy, and pretty easy to put together. Make sure to put it together where you will have the bed. It is heavy. My son loves it!!
Overall, weve been pleased with furniture for our kids rooms. Its low cost and holds up well. This bed is adorable in my daughters room and very solid. There are a few dents, dings and imperfections in the finish but generally most are in low visibility areas and its pretty much what I expected for the price. One caution for those using this as a kids bed: The drawer pulls are extremely sharp! I had seen this in other reviews but really didnt think it would be such a big problem. The very first time my child climbed down off the bed, she cut her foot on the edge. We immediately removed the handles and will be replacing with something else. Very well made.
This is a very pretty bed. It came damaged in many places. The carton was torn open before we even got it, it had a few small scratches and a few pieces where it flaked off, looks like from being dropped. The directions are not clear. My husband is good at putting things together and this took a long time to put together. The other thing is the drawer handles. They are so sharp it tore a brand new 450 count sheet when we tilted it to secure the sheet.
As always took good care of us.
I would not recommend this bed unless some major changes were mde by the manufacturer Basic.
Looks fine but the drawers continually fall apart. The first drawer did this within the first year and we had to continuously nail it back together. Now all of the drawers have come apart and they no longer stay in tact even when fixed. Too many parts. Assembly is a pain.

Use wood glue on the drawers.

Drawers fall apart.
