I read all the reviews at multiple websites before buying this bed, and ultimately bought it here because they had the Natural color I wanted for my sons room. A lot of reviews said it was hard to put together, but I did it in under an hour by myself, except for having a 2nd person to help with the headboard. The directions were pretty straightforward, but they are images only, no text, which might be more difficult for people who are language oriented instead of visual. I did have to put the footboard together twice because the first time I got the center panel in upside down, but that was because I didnt look at the directions that closely. It only added maybe five minutes to the build time though because this thing goes together fast. It feels intimidating when it arrives because its all in pieces, but dont let that scare you.
Also, this thing is SOLID. No creaking or movement even when my kids tries using it as a trampoline. One of the things we liked the most about it was the unusually high weight limit for a kids bed, which means I can lay next to him and read a story without worrying about the two of us coming close to or exceeding the weight limit. Its great and I highly recommend it.
Great Bed
