This bed took forever to assemble (2 people at least 3 hours—its a bazillion parts and a LOT of work). I bought this for a 14-year olds room. The metal frame cross braces bent, and manufacturer charged to replace pieces, which bent again. I believe pulling the bed open (as its designed) caused the metal frame to bend, its almost like the frame folded in 1/2. Tho its an attractive looking bed, and a brilliant storage idea for smaller spaces, its poorly executed frame is very poor quality. Really only suitable for occasional use in a guest room, as long as you dont need to open it.
metal frame bent quickly, poor quality.
