After I had ordered the bed and read some of the reviews, I was concerned! I have high expectations and I like good quality. However....I bought this for my little girls room. Although I wanted it to look pretty I wanted it to be relatively solid!! Without paying the price tag....just in case!! I am delighted with the quality! It’s not a £2k bed.....so why expect otherwise!! I believe it will stand the test of time. It was easy to build and it feels sturdy! You can see the staples and black surround ‘at the back’. But nobody is going to see that! It’s pretty, solid and comfortable with our mattress. Perfect for a child/teenager or someone that loves blush!! If you are realistic and appreciate the fact you’re only paying £300.....it’s worth what you’ve paid and more!!
