First off, the beds themselves, once assembled, are top notch which is why I keep ordering them. Customer service has been excellent too. I have purchased 4 beds, and 5 drawerss. Years ago a pine loft bed that was perfect for our vacation rental loft with low ceilings. More recently 3 beds in cherry wood along with the drawers for our own place. First one assembled by movers so easy. I assembled the next 2 beds and it' was a real challenge to get the screws into the hardwood, and in fact some of the screws just won't go in all the way using either an electric or manual screwdriver, still the beds seem solidly together. However, depending on how you position the beds, some of these screws which are chrome color may well be visible, they are on my day bed as it's not up against the wall. I would think there should be some way to design these beds to be sturdy without the screws being so visible. The drawers are very functional but it wasn't clear to me from the website description or photos (look very very closely after the fact and you will see) that the drawers have visible metal edges on them. These metal edges coordinate but are a different color than the wood, less than desirable method of assembly IMHO. Still, overall I like the quality and design simplicity of the beds. I would and may buy again.
