I am impressed with the quality of the bed considering it was not that expensive. I need a storage bed as I am getting rid of the old dresser to accommodate more space for my daughter growing toys. Took us about 1 hour to set up the bed and it was not that hard at all. We were in no rush but if you are good at assembling furniture it should take no more than 30 mins. Since the room is hardwood floor it was easy to slide open/close the drawer underneath however I am not sure if you have a carpet, I would think there might be some resistance. Anyway I recommend this product if you like storage bed that's sturdy and easy to assembly.
