Its a platform bed for 109 (as of right now). And yes, its exactly the quality you would expect for a 109 bed. I expected low end Ikea quality but this is actually a small step down. It works and its cheap, but unless you are on a serious budget I would suggest spending a bit more The biggest problem is that the particle board planks which form the platform are screwed into particle board supports with tiny screws. These do NOT grip at all. I would strongly suggest lots of wood glue and some longer screws. Granted, gravity will do the job here, but Im a bit worried if you sit right on the edge the boards will pop right off. Secondly, listen to the other reviews and attach the edge rail pieces (at least on the left and right side) before putting the boards on. These are nearly impossible to securely fasten in the way the directions say. Id also recommend more wood glue and some clamps to hold the end rail on.
As it is, for the money, I have no worries itll hold up fine. At a glance it looks fine. It does the job. However if you have an Ikea nearby, even their lowest level beds are a decent step up in quality for not much more money.
Functional, but not quality
