My husband and I found these beds fairly simple to assemble; the boards are all clearly labeled, the hardware comes in clearly marked, easy-open packages, and an Allen-key is included- though, I would recommend having a power drill available for the Phillips-head screws. With help from our two- and four-year-old children we got these put together in about two hours. As some other reviewers have noted, there is a little back-tracking necessary in the assembly, specifically, removing some of the mattress supports for installation of the ladder. We also skipped ahead to the ladder before putting on the middle safety rail support on the ladder side, because the holes for the support arent pre-drilled. If youre slightly mechanically inclined, you should have no problem.
The packaging indicates these beds are for children six years or older, but my 2-y.o. daughter and 4-y.o. son are quite adept at climbing into the bottom bunk and up the ladder to the top. I dont see any mention of this age restriction in the listing, but its moot to us, as our kids are always up for a challenge.
The finish is a fairly dark brown, which I like, and the pieces fit together well, with no unfinished edges visible. As noted in the title, when assembled as bunk beds or free standing, they are quite sturdy. I can stand on the footboard slats and reach into the top bunk without a wiggle from the frame.
All-in-all, I would definitely recommend these beds to anyone looking for bunk-beds.
Super solid
