This bed is beautiful. I was so excited for it to come and it came way quicker than the originally ETA, the bed itself was a lot lighter than I expected and I feel like you do have to be careful with the pieces when putting it together so it did feel a little less heavy duty than what I thought, my dog stepped on the under side of the bottom board and it made a crunching noise and felt like it cracked a little which was disappointing but it did not effect the bed and its holding up just fine, I would just be careful with the pieces when putting together but for the price not bad and looks amazing!
