Ive read reviews where people have taken 2 hours to build and it took me about 45 minutes to put together. It did have minor knicks and an area where it was dirty, but nothing worth showing. The manufacturer should just be more careful packaging since we are paying customers. The only tool that is required that does not come with the bed is a phillips head screwdriver. The instructions were a bit too wordy, but the pictures were detailed and easier to follow than reading everything. The boards for the drawers is thin and wont hold extreme heavy objects, but it will hold a seasonal wardrobe or extra toddler bedding. The bed is very sturdy and held my weight. If you wanted to, you could buy a guard rail, but for me that defeated the purpose of buying a bed and I am very pleased with the partial rail it comes with. I could not have found anything else I liked and wanted than this bed. It is definitely worth the money.
Worth every penny!
