AFTER:
I feel like I should devote a whole posting to JUST THIS BED! Thanks to my hubby, who put this bed together with a lot of patience and late nights. It took EIGHT HOURS to assemble. I'd never seen anything like it. It had tons of pieces and the worst directions I've ever seen. It's an awesome bed though. It has a built in dresser and storage shelves on the side. The open gap on the side is actually for a desk to slide in and out, but Ashlynn decided to leave the desk out and put it under her window. Now she has her own "hiding" space under the bed, which she uses for her American Girl Doll.
