We couldn’t be happier with this bed. I read all the reviews, good and bad, and decided to take a chance. It turned out perfectly. It took my husband and I about  2 hours and 2 Allen wrenches (they only supply one but we have extra) to get it done. We followed the directions and so far it’s sturdy and doesn’t seem like that’s going to change. Luckily all of our parts were accounted for and not damaged in any way. Love it, so pretty!
