At the price paid (£170 ish) the bed is an absolute bargain and I AM pleased with my purchase. Having said that, had I paid the full retail cost i'd have been less than happy! The paint finish is pretty poor and some of the pre drilled holes need additional drilling to allow components to fit. Theres also the chemical smells previously mention. That said, the build is solid, looks really smart and my daughters love their new bed. Extra points to Wayfair for their free delivery 4 days earlier than scheduled. First purchase from Wayfair - wont be last!!
