This bed is so cute!!!!! It was pretty heavy and came in a large package, but it did arrive sooner than expected. Once I opened it and got everything out though, it was a piece of cake to put together! SERIOUSLY! It was halfway set up with a lot of the hardware already into place. We only had to click a few spots together and screw in a few screws. Best slat system I have seen in a bed so far too! Its got multiple measures to keep those slats in place and never slide around. Now I wouldn’t recommend what we did to figure this out, but jumping on the bed with 3 dogs and 2 adults was the ultimate test and it survived! So its pretty sturdy too. The wood is beautiful and it looks exactly as the photos did. Super cute in my room, although we haven’t finished the walls yet, it will be much easier now with a really gorgeous natural bed to center it.
