This bed definitely exceeded my expectations. I was leery about purchasing one online, but the price was too good to pass up. Stores here wanted 800+ and a delivery fee. It took about 3.5 hours to set up completely with two adults working on it mostly. The instructions were easy to follow (only pictures, no words) and the box it came in was packaged very nicely. It was shipped in a timely manner and arrived just after the expected delivery day (not their fault though, our FedEx is the worst). There were a few minor imperfections on the bed but nothing I would complain about and the bed is very sturdy! My husband laid on it and he is around 170 pounds. The boards on the top barely moved! All in all it was a great purchase and I strongly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a nice bunk bed.
