This bed is really sturdy, it is a lot of work to put together, however the only thing you need that does not come in the box is a phillips screwdriver, everything else is included.
The instructions are pretty clear (if you look at them carefully and look at a picture of the assembled bed).
I really liked the way the parts were clearly labeled, the bolts and screws as well as the plastic conectors and stoppers all came with extras thag were labeled as extras, so if you drop and lose or damage one you have spares.
The beds have slats with plastic spacers that connect them and plastic stoppers that keep them from moving.
Mattresses are not included.
The whole bed comes flat pack, the box is as long as the bed and about 1foot deep by less than 2 feet wide, so it can easily store in a garage until ready to assemble.
Give yourself lots of time and 2/3 people to put it together.
A very sturdy bed
