We read the reviews and the common issues so we thought we were ready. I wanted those flat steps! Our order arrived quickly, both boxes together. Packing job was excellent with all pieces and hardware clearly labeled (ours had the part sticker on the piece not on the overwrap so it was easy to identify. We had no issues with scratched or broken pieces.). Even taking our time we still managed to reverse a few pieces so we had the common problem of having to stop and change things around a couple of times. O well. Eventually we got it all together (about 4 hours with 2 people). I am very happy with the sturdiness and the kids are happy in the new bed. We will probably need to tighten the screws regularly (we used the power drill because those tiny tools are just too annoying). overall it is a good value for the money. I will try to update this review if we run into any issues but after the first week all is well! Works well
Take your time assembling
