Really pleased with this bed. Its proven to be excellent value for the money paid. Its very sturdy when constructed and the wood looks lovely. Ideally two people needed to assemble, but I did it on my own without too much difficulty. Admittedly, I did have to call for the assistance of a male friend to put some muscle behind a couple of screws on the slats. Otherwise easy peasy! Delivered as advised and I'm actually thinking of buying another to replace the one I currently have in my second granddaughter's bedroom.
