This bed is so cute! Shipped fast, very heavy!! It seems very sturdy, no squeaks. The instructions were easy to follow, and I put it together by myself in about 1.5 hours. The bed came with an Allen key to use to assemble, but it goes much faster with a power screw driver and appropriate bit, just like IKEA furniture. 

I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because on of the upper side beams had one opening that was bent upon arrival, and I had to pry it open with a file to get it wide enough to slip in the supporting piece. Otherwise it went together easily.
