This bed arrived one day before expected delivery date, which was great, as we were moving our son into his new place for University. Very easy assembly (took two of us; you would need at least two people for assembly, in my opinion), and the bed seemed very solid and sturdy once assembled. My son says that it has been a very comfortable sleep so far (purchased a 6" memory foam mattress with it). The headboard is lovely; the wood grain adds a nice touch. Very happy with this purchase!
