We ordered this for our 13 year old daughter for Christmas for her new room. It arrived ahead of schedule and intact. She and I built it in about an hour. It was well packed, easy to assemble and had great instructions. I have built many furniture kits over the years and this was one had some of the best written instructions for assembling! The headboard looks wonderful in my daughter's room, and she says she couldn't have picked a nicer one herself. She is an avid reader and always has books piled around her bed, this keeps them close by but neat. We all love it.
