LOTS of pieces,but worth it after assembly. Everything well aligned and easy to build,but make sure you have a cordless drill with a good clutch so as to not over tighten the screws and strip them out, and a hex bit(metric) that fits the screw heads. supplied a wrench to tighten the screws,but youd be at it all day w/o the drill.
Packed very tight and package is heavy( about 116#) but OK to move with 2 guys.Arrived in great shape and fast thru Super saver Shipping.
Bought the Espresso instead of the Cherry as it was $100 cheaper(Bought 2 sets). Color is not too dark and looks classy. All 4 beds feel very sturdy after assembly.
I added 3 slats to the 7 provided per bed as Adults will be sleeping on these occasionally. The 10 slats are now about 5.25 inches apart. Bought 1x3s at HDepot .Also added 1 Luan Plywood as a Bunky Board that was probably not necessary but I screwed them to the slats to further stiffen it.
Result is a very sturdy 2 sets of Bunkbeds that are rated at 250lbs each bed and that look and work.
Had one of the rails with a crack in a Knot all the way to the outside of the rail, so called the WE number and they have already shipped the replacement. A PERSON from AMERICA answered the call and helped me with NO hassle. These beds are made in Vietnam and show pride of Manufacturing and packaging. Fabulous Buy.
