This arrived in five boxes, which were easy to open.  All the parts and instructions were there and simple to follow.  We needed some help putting together the drawers, as just one side didn’t quite line up with a hole and a new hole had to be made for the screws to be secured.  The drawers are free-floating and so move easily, which can be good and bad.  There is a little room to one side (like a narrow space, or opening), but for us it’s not an issue as we have a nightstand on that side.  We like the stream-lined look of this white bed.  It doesn’t take up too much space.  It is simple and fresh looking in our teen daughter’s bedroom.  She is thrilled!
