I'll start off by saying that we came here to purchase this frame after months of waiting for another frame to become available (shipping issues). I'll say that the frame is much more lightweight than I was expecting, but the pieces seem sturdy. Maybe not solid wood sturdy...but honestly who makes furniture like that anymore (which sucks). I build this on my own and did not need a second person to help for any of the steps.. These instructions were pretty easy to follow and well marked. My only note would be to those building this frame in a small room (like I did). When it comes to building to trundle, note that you're building it from back to front so position yourself so that you don't have to then flip it once it's build like I did. My other note would be for those with hardwood floors. The trundle bed doesn't have a stopper so it moves around and it doesn't stay flush with the face of of frame.. I'm thinking of putting some sort of stopper between the end if the trundle and the wall so that it's always flush with the frame and it looks like the pictures. Other than that, we'll see how it holds up with my crazy child.
