Bought this as an extra bunk bed to have at a ski condo. We just put this bed together and it took my wife and myself about 1.5 hours to do so. I used a cordless drill with the correct bit. Doing so will save you a ton of time vs using the allen wrench provided. It comes in a single box that is very heavy (guessing 180+ pounds), so make sure you have two able bodied people to move it. The only reason I didnt give it 5 stars is due to the supporting slats for the mattresses. They are too far apart and anyone over 100 pounds will cause them to sag and the mattress to push through. Specs say it will hold someone up to 250 lbs but I wouldnt trust that. I am going to add extra half inch x 6 inch pine boards to make a better platform for the mattress and make me feel better about someone heavy getting on the beds. Other than that it seems like a great deal. Went together without a hitch, the all the hardware is solid and holes all lined up. We are thinking about getting another one due to the great price and free shipping with Prime.
Solid Bunk Bed and Excellent Value
