We were in the market for a new bed for my granddaughter.  After reading some of the reviews we were kind of reluctant about missing parts. Hogwash! My daughter and I put the bed together; we started at 7pm carrying everything upstairs; took the old bed down and carried it into the basement, vacuumed, had a dance party with my granddaughter and were in bed by 11pm.  Did I forget to mention that my granddaughter loves the bed?
