Not only is this bed beautiful, but my child loves it too. He thinks it is so awesome to have his big boy bed. The bed arrived in perfect condition. My husband put the bed together by himself. He said it wasn't very difficult, and he had it done within an hour (with a 4-year-old harrassing him). We love the bed. It has a beautiful color and it matches our DaVinci Parker crib and changing table perfectly.
