I really noticed how great quality the furniture was when I was assembling it. They use the same principles of assembly as ikea does, but instead of cheap plastic parts, you get lovely quality metal parts. The wood has a lovely feel and it’s the perfect size for my son. My only gripe is I would prefer the shelving to feel a bit more secure. My boy loves to “help” disassemble the shelving, so having it be a bit harder for him to do would definitely be an improvement.
