The bed seems sturdy and really is both beautiful and functional with the well-constructed drawers. HOWEVER,  I do light construction so arrogantly thought the complaints about the instructions must be overstated but couldn’t have been more wrong. WORST INSTRUCTIONS EVER!!! Plan on coughing up some extra money for someone else to have a meltdown putting this monstrosity together, or be prepared for losing a full day  of confusion and frustration. The only reason I didn’t give up on this thing was that I needed somewhere to sleep for 2 straight days of recuperating from the nightmare assembly. Boo hiss to the manufacturer for not spending a few cents more on a couple of extra sheets of paper to more carefully illustrate each step of the process. And hey, Wayfair, it would be really nice if you’d follow up with the manufacturer when you see this type of consistent complaint.
