I ordered this bed for my young son and it was a good purchase overall. It arrived on time, but was slightly damaged. The paint was scratched pretty badly in a couple of spots on the footboard. I ordered the black bed, so thankfully the damage isn't super noticeable. The assembly was not too terrible, but it does require two people for some of the steps. It took my husband and I about an hour from start to finish. Once the bed is put together, it is very sturdy and looks great. My son loves it and we are happy with the product, especially considering what we paid for it.
