This bed is exactly what I was looking for!!! The packages actually arrived before the confirmed date!  The instructions were easy to use and all the hardware was packaged appropriately in the box.  It definitely helped to have more than one person assembling the bed.  The bed came together within 30 minutes with three of us assembling  it together.  The description matched perfectly.  My only complaint is that I guess there is another option with this bed to purchase a foot board, which I did not get offered.  I wish I would have seen that option before ordering the bed with no foot board.
