As others have mentioned the bed came with zero instructions.  Not just bad instructions, but ours came with none.  It took my husband about an hour, so it wasn’t that hard, but still.  The quality is decent.  The finishing of where all the metal is joined is quite rough, but you need to look up close to see that.  It certainly isn’t high end, but it does seem durable enough.  My biggest complaint with it would be that where all of the horizontal bars join, it looks really sloppy.  In the picture, they are screwed into the main poles of the bed, but on ours, the poles just stack on top and then you screw the ball on the top.  It’s a small detail but not like the picture.   However, all in all, it looks pretty good and with some sheer curtains on it, my 8 year is thrilled and thinks it is the perfect princess bed, so that is all that really matters.
