Love this bed. As per previous reviews I was aware of the time it takes to assemble and yes, it took me a few hours, but was worth it. The girls love their little shelves for keeping their treasures close to them. The little draw is great for keeping away toys and serves as playfood draw :-) at the moment. 

Yes,  it is a bit wide but I was aware of it and overall I am very very happy with the purchase
