I was worried about ordering a bed sight-unseen.  But this bed is better than I expected!   It took about 4 hours for my husband to put it together.  Everything was labeled well and while a little tedious, assembly wasn't difficult.  The drawers are spacious and well-made.  The bookshelves give my daughter so much space.  And it's not as high as a bunkbed (about 43" I think) so I can still reach her for a goodnight kiss.  This bed will hold up for many years.
