This was my first major purchase online, and I was skeptical. I went through all the reviews and decided on this. I’m glad I did, the bed is beautiful. It took myself and my 9yr old about an hour to put everything together. The only think was the height of the bed. I’m 5’7, once the bed was assembled- the headboard came to just above my bellybutton. All that considered, the best is a MUST buy. It was exactly as described!
