This is a great bed by an excellent manufacturer. If you are used to the quality of higher end furniture, this will satisfy you and compares or beats beds selling for 4 times more. it also blended beautifully with our existing bed room set (dark cherry). The wood is kiln dried and if you google on the manufacturer you will see they are iso9000 quality certified. The seller totalbedroom is great, I have no idea how they make money at these prices.
I love this furniture more than any other furniture in my house. The quality is excellent. I have five kids that play on it and around it and it hasn't faultered. It doesn't creak or squeek or even move for that matter! All furniture should be mad with this high quality standard.
It is a nice looking bed, but the side slates are high and make it difficutl to tuck blankets in when you make it --that is a bit of a pain, but worth the effort.
