Easy to put together, really nice, quality, solid wood (not laminated particle board). Sturdy, TONS and I mean TONS of storage space. My 85-lb dog walked himself right in when I opened the door in the baseboard and easily turned himself around to come back out once he completed his inspection. The shipping company pulled a no-show without calling me on delivery day but the seller was very helpful to get things cleared up.

Nice Bed! I researched extensively before buying. We wanted a storage bed with actual storage - and got it. Furniture stores didn't have any beds with more than 6 drawers with a lot of wasted space (even in queen size).

This bed (we got the full size), has 12 drawers and an accessible space from the bottom end - no inaccessible space. My son (7) can easily fit inside & uses it as a "fort". You can reach all the way back under the headboard. This would be great for storing infrequently used items.

The bed is tall of course (with 2 rows of drawers). We got a pillow-top mattress too, but my 7 year-old has no trouble climbing into it. You just may want to consider a standard mattress to keep the height down - if that is a concern.

The product isn't "solid" wood, but is plywood with veneer and some solid wood. This is still much better than MDF in my opinion. Oh, I don't remember any problems with assembly. I think some screws were mis-labeled, but we figured it out quickly. My wife & I had it carried in the hours, unpackaded & assembled in less than 2 hours.

Oh, and the delivery was VERY fast. Ours came Southeastern Freight & the driver worked with us on the delivery time. We had the bed delivered in only a few days after placing the order! The driver set it down in the driveway (he would have gone in the garage too if possible - so delivery is no problem. One person can carry each box in the house after the shrink-wrap is removed - so don'w worry about getting the more expensive delivery option.

This bed came with all the parts, we were able to put it together in a reasonable amount of time. It looks okay- not in love with the styling but I purchased it because I moved to a very small space and needed the efficiency of a bed with drawers. Biggest problem? Doesn't feel that stable. It definitely needs a board underneath the mattress, the slats just don't do it. Also the fact that the headboard is not attached, things can get knocked over easily.
