Lets start from the beginning. Took about a week and a half from the time I ordered this bed to it being delivered. The box was hella heavy guys. Not even kidding. The spouse and I were struggling to get this up the stairs. Wound up cutting the box open and moving the pieces a few at a time. They were all intact with no damage.
The item itself is pretty good for the price we paid. I do have some issues. We bought the white version and the paint is very thin. I think it was just quickly airbrushed, and not very evenly overall. I already had an incident where the ladder got knocked as I was putting it on, and the paint scrapped clear off a part of the upper frame where it sits. I can tell touching up the paint is going to become a thing.
Also the directions are not the best. If youve ever assemble furniture, theyre on par, but perhaps slightly worse as none of the hardware is labeled and youre gonna spend half the time trying to figure out if youve got the right screws. I think I spent an hour just looking back and forth between the screws part list and the current instructions.
Overall, took me about 4 hours by myself, and my kid is ecstatic. Great value. Very sturdy.
Ups and downs.
