The bed came within two days of ordering with very simple instructions. There was an error in the instructions though - one of the bars needed to be flipped for everything to line up perfectly (the long bar under the headrest, 9 should connect to 1, and 1 should connect to 9). Other than that moment of panic, the bed has been surprisingly sturdy and there is plenty of space for storage underneath. We are quite happy with it after a week of use!
