This bed stinks, literally
The construction of the bed is very good. The assembly was easy. All the parts were included and came in 2 boxes. With a cordless drill and a hex driver I was able to assemble it in about an hour. Now the bad news, the smell the wood gives off is toxic. Really. I usually wouldn't care about this, believe me, and I recognize most brand-new furniture has an odor, but this was different. I normally would enjoy a "new-furniture" smell much like I enjoy new-car smell (who doesn't) but this odor was MUCH worse than expected. The smell filled the whole house. We first thought it was the matresses and placed them outside to air out. But upon further inspection,the matresses were fine, the odor was coming from the wood of the bedframes. Our 6-year-old complained of a headache and dizziness when she woke up so we knew we had to get rid of it*. We had this bed for 2 days total. DISASSEMBLY only took about 1/2 hour! : ) and Amazon is, of course, great at returns. *just so you know, my kid is not a complainer. If she says she doesn't feel well, she isn't well.
