I think this will be a great bed! Put it together by myself in about 2.5 hours. Directions were super simple and easy to follow. There were a few small scuffs on pieces that are hidden so no big deal there. The box was pretty beat up when it arrived but doesn't seem to have any cosmetic issues from that. Drawers are a little cheap (the bottom is that almost-cardboard stuff) so no heavy items in those. but otherwise, looks nice, seems stable!
