This bed is beautiful. I was a little skeptical when I ordered because I thought it may be a flimsy frame, but I was wrong. The bed frame is very sturdy. It took my husband and I a couple of hours to put it together. The instructions were easy to follow, all of the parts had numbers on them, including the screws, so you are able to follow the instructions easily. The pink canopy was bought separately and is not part of the bed. My daughter loves the canopy bed. I definitely recommend it.
