4.5 stars,...1/2 off for putting together it is a pain all Allen screw and use small allen wrench (included) YOU will need two people.Hint do not tighten all shelves put them all in then tighten them or else you will need to loosen them to get the last one in.  Other than that great bed ( one small piece damaged in shipping will call company see if can a replacement)  My daughter loves the bed, pretty sturdy, when you climb it feel like it will tilt it wont. Bed my 9 yr will grow into,  she loves the little shelf on the side.  Glade we went with black.......fairly large amount of room on bottom and the end shelves great.
