Recently moved and wanted something that would *last* - not some cheap particle board nonsense from a big box store, but something with quality. Shipping was swift; everything arrived in good condition. Once the parts were organized, assembly was straightforward. The instruction pamphlet is simple, but complete; the pieces are all lettered which is helpful. Plenty of extra screws, too, just in case. Two people might make assembly easier, but it's doable alone (so I found) - took about forty five minutes in total. A rubber mallet is handy to get some pieces to seat fully (the friction fit on the mortis-and-tenon joints needs some persuasion). The finish on the exterior frame is smooth and clean; the cuts were all precise so everything fit as it should. It *feels* nice and sturdy, no wobbles, no shimmies. I can be a bit of restless sleeper at times, and it's been rock solid.
