The bed arrived quickly and without damage. I was able to assemble it without help for the most part. I was surprised at the sturdiness and size of the drawers (both excellent). We purchased the bed to match our older son's bed (which was discontinued years ago) and to allow for more storage in their shared bedroom. Not only was I able to store all of my son's current season wardrobe, I was also able to store some of his bulkier pieces, like sweatshirts.
