I got this bed as an early Christmas present. Being too old for my princess palace bed, after I looked around some, I decided on this bed.
The shipping was faster than expected, and the box was a little torn, but that was expected. Once we opened the box, we saw the wood was just as expected, the same color brown as in the picture, maybe a little nicer looking. The instructions seemed to be pretty clear, and we were able to construct it (with 3 people) in about 2 to 3 hours. the ladder was sturdy, and when I got up it didnt wobble at all, or I couldnt feel it wobbling AT ALL, which was surprising, since there was about 80 pounds total on the bed, I THINK anyways, there was the mattress, me, blankets, and a pile of stuffed animals. I could sit up in it, and the area below the bed provided lots of room, and hanging sheets around the bottom part provided a hideout to do homework, journal, and just self/relax time. There was no paint smell and it smelled like nice pure wood, exactly what it was. But it still works great.
This bed was perfect
