The bed looks great once it is put together but the direction are HORRENDOUS. They are confusing, none of the million bed pieces are numbered and you have to just compare to the not great pictures in the instructions which caused some issues. It took us 4 hours to put this thing together. This is a very complicated large bed and the instructions should not just be photos. There should be clear photos AND wording. Giving 3 stars because the bed is cool once together and my son enjoys it but had I known how terrible the instructions were I never would have bought it.
