The bed shipped quicker then expected, it took all of two hours to build (the long part was taking it out of the packaging) and it’s very durable. It shipped in very protective packaging and there wasn’t a scratch on it. I absolutely LOVE this bed as it wasn’t was I was expecting, it was better then that. My little guy has slept in it every night. Crib to big boy was a success thanks to this “coolfun” bed!
