This is our first night using this bed, so I will definitely update in the future if we end up loving or hating it. But I felt like I needed to write a review while assembling this thing was still fresh in my mind (and muscles.) The box weighs at least 100 pounds and is about 7 feet long. Our lovely UPS fella left it on our sidewalk, so my 5'3, 115lb self had to drag it up our porch steps and into the house. It took me about 5 hours to assemble, though to be fair, that was with 3 small children running around and getting in the way. If you don't have little helpers you can probably get it done faster. My reason for four stars is, there are LOTS of pieces. Lots. I feel like the manufacturer could have had some of the pieces already put together in the box. Though it's all very sturdy once you get it put together. It also will not fit through a standard doorway, you'll have to put it together in the room that you want it in, and take it apart to move it. But over all, on night one, very sturdy, child is passed out in it. Little sister is jealous. As soon as I forget what a pain it was to put together we'll probably get another one for her. I'll make my husband put that one together.
LOTS of pieces, but sturdy. Good so far.
