Shipped fast. The parts were all clearly labeled and it has great directions to follow to put it together. My teenage daughter loved getting to help and when we were done said "that was so easy to put together!". She loves her new bed. It gave us so much more usable space in her small room. Our only complaint is that when either of my teenagers climb the ladder to get in, the bed will lift and tip toward them a little bit. For reference, they are both very tall and around 200lbs. Well within the weight limit of the bed but it is fairly lightweight. We are working on a solution for that part of it but overall we are very pleased with our purchase!
