Overall, I’m very happy with this bed, and my 8 year old loves it! There were a couple of minor issues, as described below
-Arrived in undamaged boxes, yet one end panel had a small crack that went the entire way through. Decided the damage wasn’t severe enough to warrant trying to arrange a replacement piece, as it wasn’t a structural piece, and being on the end of the bed, it’s barely noticeable. 
-My handy 11 year old and I (his not nearly as handy mom) put the bed together in about 4 hours. One window sill needed to be glued back on, as it fell off during shipping, and one piece didn’t have a pilot hole drilled. Other than that, the pictorial instructions were adequate, and all hardware was included. Assembly would have been made easier if the bed slats came connected together by nylon fabric, as was the case with his prior bed, to prevent the need for screwing each slat in individually.
