I was thrilled to find a real wood bed that came in a Full XL size. I really like the design, but the quality of the workmanship is mediocre. The varnish is very uneven with dark patches and what looks like a bunch of finger prints. I'm hard pressed to find other beds in this size so I will keep it. Also, when assembling, it is very difficult to keep pieces together tight enough when screwing them together. They should use fasteners that tighten as you go. Update: While trying to correct the loose joint, we discovered that the soft wood has cracked, so there is no way to tighten the joint at all. I could literally wiggle the pieces apart despite two screws. Very disappointed. I would be willing to pay more money for a bed that has decent varnish and doesn't break during assembly. I'm down grading to 2 stars.
