Delivery took longer than expected as did most of my items from Wayfair. There's about half a million pieces so it took about 3 hours to assemble just the bed frame (not including shelves or desk) however, my son loves his loft bed. I also purchased a bed curtain set at Walmart for $35 which made the bed that much cooler. The underside  was not as tall under as the pictures looked, but the measurements are pretty accurate.
