My boyfriend and I put the bed together in an afternoon.  My condo has average 8 foot ceilings.  We assembled the bed as per the instructions.  When we got to the last step and tried to turn the bed, it immediately hit the ceiling.  We turned it all different directions - same thing.  It kept hitting the ceiling as soon as we lifted it more than a foot off the floor.  When we called Wayfair,  they were no help, and wanted to charge us to return it (unless we were willing to accept merchandise credit for the entire purchase price!!!).  We had to disassemble almost the entire thing and re-assemble it right-side up, NOT according to the directions.  Again, my ceilings are AVERAGE height.  It's a real pain to put together, there are tons of little screws that have to screwed in with allen wrenches - very tedious and time consuming.  Unless you the patience of a saint and 10 foot ceilings, don't bother!!!
