Excellent bed. Delivery was seamless. All pieces were accounted for and in pristine condition. The bed was really easy to assemble. I did it with my 13-year-old son in about 90 minutes. It was so simple, we probably could have done it without the directions. All holes are predrilled so there aren't a lot of mistakes you can make.

The mechanism to lift the bed is really smooth. I'm just over 5 feet tall and I'm not at all strong. All I have to do is tug on the straps and the bed lifts up no problem. It stays up as I rummage under the bed and it's not at all difficult to lower. I couldn't ask for a better product. I am very, very happy with this purchase.
