Love the idea of this bed and it wasn’t too difficult to put together - we were disappointed though in the numerous scratches, areas where the paint is barely there, and splits in several places.  One if the hinges arrived stuck in the painted wood - for this price we felt that the finishing touches should have been better...it made us feel as if this was thrown together.  Thankfully, we are handy so we were able to fix the issues - one suggestion though would be for the manufacturer to provide touch up paint.
