Well packed, clear instructions, 95% wood. Nice bed fit right price
There are 2 boxes and everything is well packed. The longer box had some damage but luckily it has great protection inside that didn't cause any damage to the wood.
The bed is 95% painted wood. Only the front drawers seem to be made of pressed cardboard, therefore there may be some inperfections as seen in my pictures which do not bother me.
Assembly wasn't bad but took me 3 hours part because the room is tight and part being lazy since I did it at night.
The instructions were clear and well written. I did not see the Allan Key at first but any Ikea Allen key works and I prefer the one pictured. Make sure you don't overtighten the bolts as noted on the instructions if you use power tools. I used them to screw in the long bolts and finished with a screwdriver.
The hardest part is putting the drawers together by yourself. It requires screwing small screws where there's no predrilling and impossible by hand while holding 2 pieces of wood. I had an impact driver which helped. If doing it by hand you need someone to help you.
Only 1 part was defective and took about 20 minutes to screw it down. This was one of the drawer guides (1 of 3). The hole was drilled lower not ending straight into the bolt hole causing the collar to turn when the bolt tip touched it and drove me up the walls for 20 minutes.
When placing the drawers in, there's no mention but they are meant to be hard to push in, because the nubs prevent them from coming out when you open them. Later
Were happy with the bed. We chose this one because of price and we liked the drawers and head/footboards. We used our old ikea mattress for the bottom bed and got a regular twin mattress for the top.
