Love this bed!! It is a great addition for our grandchildren’s room. A timeless bed that is beautiful and sturdy!! Also, very easy to put together. I think it took longer to unpack the box and break all the styrofoam and cardboard down than to put the bed together. Haha Also, every thing is clearly labeled making for a quicker assembly. This bed could easily be assembled by one person. One thing to note, we did add 2 wood slats on each side rails to keep the mattress from sliding back and forth when changing sheets. Slats are not included but got them at our local hardware store. An easy solution to complete the sturdiness of this bed. Like I said, “We love it!!”
