This bed was delivered faster than expected, it was extremely well packed. There are a huge number of pieces, lol, but following the directions step by step was fairly straightforward. Two people are definitely better for assembling pieces.
It is very sturdy & looks great. When we first tried to close the bed after installing the lifts, it would not budge. My husband did a quick google search and just as the article explained, put some downward pressure directly above the lift doing each side separately. It worked like a charm, the bed is very easy to lift up.
Lots of great storage area for those random items that have to be kept, but not necessarily used frequently.
We like it so much we are planning on buying another one in the not too distant future.
