This bed surpassed my expectations. It was my first time ordering on Wayfair, and I'm so glad I did! After much research on a quality bed for a reasonable price, this was the one I went with, and I'm extremely happy with my purchase. I got it for my 5 year old, and due to the sturdiness and overall quality, it seems like it will last him until he moves out! Thabkfully, I didn't have issues wih any of the materials; everything was included in the shipment (headboard, slats, hardware, and frame). Nothing was damaged. I will say that the instructions were a tad bit off, but other than that, not a difficult product to assemble. My husband did it by himself in 3 hours.
