Great bed! 2 critiques: 1 objective, 1 subjective. (1) It does not come with covers for all the screws that hold the bed together (which does take a long time to put together as others have noted, but it is a canopy bed after all), so you can see the silver screw tops facing every which way in contrast to the white posts (may blend better with the gray bed). And, since the bed is not stark white, putting white stickers over the holes is still noticeable (we did this and I imagine we'll get used to it). (2) The bed really low. It definitely says that in the description but as someone who is tall & 7 months pregnant, I have to work to get up. Just want to note this for others who may have missed this part of the description.
