Not sure what I was thinking, but thought this would just be a quick throw together bed- it’s not. It did take a little more time and effort but in the end was not that bed..I mean bad. You have to put some effort to drill the screws through the plastic but did just fine with the regular ol screwdriver while bossing my 18 yr old to help me and he do one side while I do the other. My 6 yr old has enjoyed it was excited about the headlights lighting up and has even put himself to bed a few nights. Soo far worth it and the extra drawer underneath is nice to throw all his Hot Wheels in.
