Let me start out with the good stuff first, this bed is very pretty. My daughter LOVES it. She's turning 11 and wanted a 'teenager' look.  You won't be disappointed with the look and feel of the bed - it's spot on.   Delivery was timely / no issues with damage, etc.  now the not so great....there was a LOT of mumbling under the breath from my husband about part quality during assembly.  He tries to keep it secret that he's pretty handy for fear that his honey do list will grow, but he's pretty darn handy.  You might need someone like that around if u run into quality issues with damaged screw holes,, like we did. He was able to find creative solutions for that and finished assay in about 1 hr & 15 min.  So, for appearance this gets a 5. Instructions a 3.  Quality 2.5 / 3.  I'd buy it again even with the hubby's complaining. Enjoy!
