Bought this for my spare bedroom for the grandkids, and absolutely thrilled how it turned out. Boxes arrived with no damage from shipping. All pieces were there for assembly. Directions are fairly simple. Took me and my son in law about an hour to assemble (I would recommend using a screw gun to avoid using a regular scre driver to speed up the assembly time). Once put together the bed is very sturdy and beautiful. So happy with my purchase!
