Where do I start?  First of all, this took over a month to be delivered.  Second, it came in approx. 6 extremely heavy boxes with TONS of pieces.  The pieces for the shelf and the actual bed are labeled with the same numbers so its extremely confusing.  The instructions are incredibly confusing and after 8 hours of 3 people attempting to assemble this, it is still unfinished.  Even the delivery driver said, "Oh, I assembled one of those, it took me forever and I will never do it again.  You'll need a power drill.  Good Luck with that."  So, basically it took FOREVER to deliver, is extremely complicated to assemble and I probably could have got something way cheaper, delivered to me already assembled.  DO NOT PURCHASE unless you are an assembly genius and like to torture yourself.  The wood is pretty, so it gets two stars for that. We have no idea how to make it look like the photo of the item. I wish I could just get my money back at this point.
