We just love this bed.   It is perfect for guests at our small beach condo.   After reading reviews on installation we decided to hire a guy.   Our contractor did an excellent job.   He cut away the  baseboard and not only anchored it to the wall he bolted the bookcases to the bed so it looks like one large unit.   We would have  never been able or willing to finish it the way he did.  It did take him and a helper 2 days.   Not for the faint of heart.
