Most of the reviews I read said it took forever to put together but I did this rather quickly (almost 8 months pregnant). Directions are simple. The reviews regarding the weight capacity of the drawers seems to be accurate, as it is made of a flimsy particle board. The corners of the bed are a tad sharp and our 2 year old got a scratch already, we have told her to be careful so hopefully she will heed that. If not we will put some kind of rubber on them. 
When the box was delivered there was a HUGE gouge in the box when it was delivered I was nervous the product was damaged. It wasn't! There's thick cardboard packing material that got the hit! So the bed is build and going to be used today!!
