Bought this for my son as his first “big boy” bed. It came in two different shipments. At first I thought I bought the wrong thing! The second half came and all was right in the world. Honestly it was annoying to wait for the second delivery because my son was super excited to get it put together. My husband built the headboard half first so he could at least “sleep on his new bed”. About 2-3 days later the rest came. Not a huge deal but when ya have an excited toddler it’s a little tough! Lol
