The bed arrived promptly and very well packaged with no damage. This was a purchase for my daughters' room and we are all very happy with this bed. Definitely worth the money!! I am always concerned about the sturdiness of a bed especially having 3 children who are teenage/early 20's plus all their friends coming over and anywhere from 2 to 4 of them sitting on the bed at one time. No worries here, the bed is very sturdy and it was pretty easy to put together.
