This bed is amazing. All the parts came in the mail, in two boxes. Instructions were fairly easy to follow. It took two of us about 2 hours to put it together, not including a short break in the middle. All the parts are good quality and sturdy. And the best part of course is all the storage that I now have! The gas hydraulic lifts are great, the bed is really easy to lift and access the storage below. Overall I am extremely happy with our purchase and we are thinking about buying another one.
