I cannot express how much I love this bed. Beautiful color, lightweight, just the right size for the girls room... Of course it took about an hour and 30 minutes to make the bed the bed is secure and safe. Nothings more important than our girls safety so I was fine with it being that long. we are single mothers with the same baby daddy and want our kids to be together so putting the bed together was a great bonding moment for us. Shipping was right on time . Instructions were simple and easy to follow. Highly recommend this bed and to get the warranty with it.
