This bed exceeded my expectations.  It came on time and was very well packaged and in good condition.  It is very nice looking and fairly easy to put together .The instructions are clear and complete.  Every piece is numbered and you just match the numbers up.  It was helpful to have two of us;  one to hold and one to manipulate the hardware.  I needed something to provide extra seating and a bed when we needed it.  This did the trick.  I love it.  It is very sturdy.
