This bed looks far more expensive than what it is and I’m here for it! It took me about an hour or so to put together. Instructions super easy to understand. I work slow to moderate so may take others a lot less time. It’s sturdy too. I’m a heffer and I’ve had to stand on it a fair few times on the mattress obvs to construct my daughters canopy overhead and I’ve also had to lift the bed and re position it a few times in the bedroom and it’s not wobbled or cracked at all! Really recommend this. I wasn’t expecting much due to the price I paid. But it’s better than other more expensive versions.
