My daughter was so excited for this bed. It’s taken me over a week to build this bad boy because I have to keep walking away. I almost got violent a couple times. There’s no way less than 3 people can build this. Awkward heavy pieces that don’t fit together and the instructions are insanely confusing. Holes drilled wrong and chipped spots in the wood. It’s a beautiful bed but a nightmare to put together.. I would have returned it if I didn’t take all the parts out of the box.
