My daughter loves her bed. This took me half a day to put up. I took it slow and only made one mistake causing me to unscrew a few boards and move things around. My advice to everyone  when you get to the lower cross board that the desk attaches to is to think two steps ahead before screwing things in- it will save you some time. Also you need to screw in all the slats - they will fall out if not properly screwed in.
