2 day delivery was a pleasant surprise - very quick to arrive. Packaging was intact as were all the pieces and instructions. Assembly took about 45 min. The drawer took the longest, but not too difficult. The only thing that was an issue (not by any stretch of the imagination a deal breaker) was that some of the metal pieces didn't lay flush in their respective holes. That's because there was some wood debris left from pre-drilling. It was easy to dig and blow out. Simple fix. This bed sits low to the ground which is exactly what I was hoping for as it is my 3 y/o first big boy bed. I have laid on the bed with my son and it held up fine. I wouldn't jump on it, but it could handle a toddlers abuse. I appreciate that the drawer is on wheels and not a track because anyone with kids knows how they are hard on furniture. I wouldn't want a drawer to fall out and crush his toes. This slides in and out and if you don't want it, you can even tuck it away without ruining the look of the bed. The color I bought was walnut. Perfect match for his other walnut furniture. The bed had a little smell to it (as most new things do) but aired out just fine in about 2 days. Would definitely recommend for little kids.
Just what I was hoping for!
