Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Seeing all the different questions on these from other buyers and reviewers, I wanted to put a detailed review on this product. Note I did not buy it from Amazon resellers. A few things to note first: The shipments comes in 4 boxes 1) Bed (longest box - 7 ft length x 1 ft width x 6 inches height) - heaviest at approx 66 lbs. 2) Book case (medium size - 4 ft length x 1 ft width x 6 inches height) - lightest at approx 19 lbs 3) Dresser (4 ft length x 3 ft width x 6 inches height) - approx 46 lbs 4) Desk (5 ft length x 4 ft width x 6 inches height) - approx 33 lbs 90% parts are solid pine wood. The MDF parts are the dresser back and dresser drawer bases. I saw some reviewers complaining about the wood getting nicks. This will happen as its pine and not teak. a bit softer wood than teak. And also the fact that when you are putting together you will bump and nick it. If you do get a bit deep nicks, use a soft wood filler and then use close to red cherry wood stain. the dark cappucino is a bit a redder in color. A few tips before and while building: 1) Open all packages and make sure nothing is broken. Luckily I had no such issues. Delivery was via fedex. Nicely packages. 2) Not all parts are numbered especially the mutilple parts of the same style. Good to get a pencil and number the bottom of the parts. I saw that the 4 main posts of the bed were numbered. This helped a lot. Since its etched in wood, you may not see it easily. Use a wet paper towel and clean the bottoms and you should be able to see the numbers on the posts. 3) Don't rush into building. All the 4 different items have parallel posts that need to fit in both sides with the perpendicular posts. Make sure wood dowels are in and atleast for the parallel/perpendicular ones use two people. One to hold the parallel pieces at 90 degrees. Put the screws in 90% of the way on one side for all the pieces for the side and have the person hold them and put the other side in. Overall very nice product. Pictures attached.
