The bed arrived quickly just 2 days and packaged very well. Even the sterofoam used to pad bed in shipping was enclosed in plastic bag so as not to make a mess when pulling out of box to assemble. Took me 10 minutes to assemble very easy and straight forward.love the color. Seems very sturdy and well made. Hardest part of bed is deciding what mattress to purchase for it. Would definatly recommend.
