I wanted to give this product 5 stars, but I can't for two reasons:
1) They apparently try to send the precise amount of hardware. In doing so, they shorted me a screw and one of the specialized nuts/bolts due to the threads not being present in the bolt. I would strongly recommend they send a little extra hardware to account for mistakes and manufacturing defects.
2) The adhesive on the labeling stickers is made from what can only be described as the most extreme adhesive I've ever come in contact with. This wouldn't be so bad, except for no thought is given to the placement of the stickers and they're in the most obvious places. My wife is going to try using some olive oil to remove them, and if that doesn't work I'll break out the Goo Gone. I'll update.
The good:
The constructions is very solid and the materials are better than one would expect for a $700 bed. If I paid $1,500 for it, I'd be a little underwhelmed as the wood is not the highest quality with some pre-finish nicks and gouges. At this price point I'm very happy with the purchase though, and our son loves it. The seat cushions are firm and the material is comfortable, and of a decent quality. The bed, when finished, is extremely sturdy.
Notes: Bring your own tools; The provided allen wrench is poorly made, and you'll want a cordless for the screws. Pay very close attention when putting the bench legs and seat fronts on as they do not attach in the most obvious way.
