I was a littler nervous ordering this, but the bed is exactly what I hoped it would be. The packaging was great - there was absolutely no damage to any of the pieces. The instructions were thorough and easy to understand. The construction was straight forward. And the bed is quite sturdy. My only recommendations to improve the bed: (1) the hardware should be labeled with the number listed in the instructions so it is 100% clear what piece should be used in assembly, (2) the bottom of the drawers could be made of slightly thicker material - they are quite thin/weak. Everything else on this bed is great and exactly as desired.
