Bed came early and was incredibly easy to assemble (took less than 15 minutes). My main concern with buying a bed online was how sturdy it would be — no one wants to sleep in a wobbly bed. This bed is REALLY solid. No wiggling, no squeaks, no movement. It feels as solid as if it were part of the house. It also looks much more expensive than it is. This is the biggest Etsy purchase I have ever made and also the easiest. The shop kept me apprised of every stage of building and shipping the bed. Stop waffling, put down the Pottery Barn catalog and buy a bed from Shaka Studios.
