Pros: Its a decently good looking storage bed, and it can hold a lot of weight. Stable, and attractive. Price was also reasonable for what it is.
Cons: Particle board is what it is. Meh. A couple of the dowel holes were in the wrong place, so I had to drill my own holes. Not pleased with this, but I have the tools and ability to do this. Oh well. A design gripe I have is there are two vertical trim pieces at the foot-end of the bed, at the outermost corners. After assembling the bed, I walked past the foot of the bed and lightly stubbed my toe on that trim piece, and it just ripped out, knocking the dowel through the particle board and damaging the outer layer of wood. I was able to put it back, glue it and clamp it. I colored the exposed wood and re-installed this trim piece, so its good enough, and isnt visible unless you get down and look for it. That being said, having a relatively flimsy trim piece on a place that is likely to take some abuse isnt a good design choice in my opinion.
Overall, itll work and it does the job. Assembly was ok, it looks good and has a good amount of storage. Well see how durable it is.
some good, some bad.
