The things that led me to this bed were its simplicity in design, color, and the fact that its made from wood. The bed came in two boxes, heavy boxes, but I was able to drag them into the living room and open them with my box cutter (be careful, or you might scratch a part). I found the assembly instructions easy to follow. Started assembling around 1pm, stopped for lunch, went back and was able to finish everything sometime between 4 and 4:30pm. Bear in mind though that I used a cordless drill with a hex bit, otherwise it would have taken too long using the manual hex tool they included. You definitely need a second person when assembling major pieces. The twin frame is a very comfortable size, so comfortable that my kids can sit together on the same level to read, or even sleep on the same level. Very pretty.
Perfect!
