This bed looks amazing! I thought about giving it one less star but honestly it is a great bed. My son loves it. The desk is a bit shorter then I thought it would be but that was my bad for not measuring it. It is amazing and roomy for a desk. My daughter is excited to get her bed that will match. It took me about 6+ hours to put it together but I was doing it by myself. I am sure with two people this bed would go up in half the time. It is very sturdy. There was one screw on the back corner of one of the shelves that I wasnt able to line the shelf up with the whole in the desk to get it in. It is so sturdy and secure though I think it will be fine. Again I also think this may be due to me putting it together by myself. This is a beautiful bed. I will be buying a second one (this next time a white version) here in a few weeks. I would recommend this bed.
