ok this was really easy to put together. There are probably 100 screws to get the whole thing going, but, most of them are for assembling the drawers.
The drawers of this unit are probably the most important consideration. They are extremely light duty. They seem to be made from similar material as a plastic milk jug. If you are familiar with elfa products, they are like a drawer made from the material they use for shelf liners. I've uploaded a picture where you can see my hand on the other side.
The drawers say they are rated for 40 lbs. The only thing they are really good for in my opinion is clothes storage, which is very useful. I wouldn't recommend shoes unless you put in a liner of some sort. The drawers attach by slotting a screw head into a hole in the frame. Not a very savvy design, but, its functional.
The bed itself is nicely made. It looks a bit more like a piece of office furniture than a bed, the fabric being reminiscent of a cubicle wall. Maybe you're into that kind of thing.
It was fast to put together with two people, maybe 45 minutes. Nicely, the manufacturer includes a bag full of extra screws marked extra.
The instructions were easy to read. One detail, when putting the drawers together, make sure all the screw holes on the frame are pointing in the same direction so you can install the bottom.
It didn't stink too much when we took it out of the box, but we aired it out overnight anyway. You have to sleep on it, but you shouldn't have to breathe it in too.
The main issue with the design is that to open all the drawers you MUST have the bed in the center of the room, or at least, not along a wall. It would be nice if you could make the drawers longer using the already included parts. My daughter left the bed 8 inches from the wall and will put winter clothes in the drawers that are partially blocked. The bed is light enough that its easy to move to access the drawers at the beginning of the season (we live in a warm climate).
Overall I think its a fair bed.
a fair value but drawers not durable
