I ordered this bed for my three old daughter. I was a bit nervous with the 50/50 reviews but I decided to give it a try. It was delivered and all the pieces were accounted for and in good shape. I initially attempted to use a power drill thinking it would reduce the time it would take to put it together, but it was a bit too powerful. I would recommend that you only use hand tools. I found the bed fairly easy to assemble and I put this together practically almost all by myself (Im a girl). I dont find that the drawer hardware is sharp as I read in other reviews. My only complaint would be that the drawers do not easily open and close. They are very stiff and I dont think it will get easier with more use; its just the fact that they used plastic parts for the drawers to slide in/out. All in all I am very happy with this purchase. I used an 8 memory foam mattress and this works great. I also got the headboard/bookshelf to attach which is great.
Great purchase!
