The order was shipped in two parts, but even so it came a day sooner than the expected arrival date. We really like the bed. It was exactly what we were look for. It was low to the ground, elegant and seems versatile. This is for my 4-yr-old daughter so we wanted something that would keep in style for her for several years, not something that she would outgrow in the next couple years. It seems that we can change the look of the bed, by changing the décor. Great purchase!
