This is a perfect bed for our current needs. Shelf and drawer storage, and a decent sized desk with an outlet. It was a pain to assemble and it definitely helps to have a second person. The screws are an eyesore and don't come with covers. I have a small bottle of white touch up paint, and plan to give them a light coat to conceal them some. It's very flimsy and cheap materials, but you get what you pay for! Once all the screws are in and brackets are on, it seems pretty sturdy, but we haven't really tested it much, yet. We'll see how long it holds up, but I'm not thinking it'll last us many years or anything. My daughter loves it! We paired it with Beddy's bedding and that does a good job of keeping the lower shelves clear.
