The bed arrived before the stated date which is great but unfortunately, I received two left pieces with no right piece for the bedposts rendering it impossible to assemble. Mistakes happen and I am awaiting a response from the seller. I recommend taking a full inventory of parts before starting to assemble. I will update with either good news or bad news within the week.
Updated review: The good news: The company was responsive and sent a new part within the week. The bad news: it was the wrong size, 1/2 thicker than the required part. While all the connections matched up, the added thickness rendered the bolts too short. Rather than wait another week with furniture parts splayed all over the house, I went to the hardware store and bought longer bolts of the same size. There is an aesthetic difference but not very noticable. Also, the drawers to wobble a bit in their respective openings. To remedy this, I lined the lips of the openings with felt tape. That seems to have helped. Otherwise the bed is fine and my son likeees it. I am willing to add a star to the review for a total of three because the end result is satisfactory.
