My apartment smelled wonderfully like lumber while I was building this bed - it's good wood. Been using it for a few weeks now and it's very sturdy.
I put maybe 3 hours into building this bed, though I was only using hand tools. I'd recommend a power drill. 1 Because my hands were pretty sore after, and 2 I have 3 screws leftover, that should have gone into the center supports, that I just gave up on as I couldn't get them to take to the wood with elbow grease alone. But hey, bed's still sturdy even missing those 3!
Excellent bed
