After final assembly this bed is very cute and very sturdy seeming. It came with enough parts to assemble and aside from a minor scratch or two the wood was in good condition. This took two of us the better part of 6 or 7 hours to assemble. That said, it's worth it. I couldn't find a similar style of bunk bed anywhere at my local furniture stores (both big name and mom/pop) and I knew I really wanted the stairs. I grew up with the traditional ladder bunk and as our youngest would make me nervous with a ladder. This bed is sturdy and far more well made than my childhood bunks, the slats under the top bunk mattress are reinforced with an extra bar and the railing is also very sturdy. This bed is colossal and takes up a pretty decent amount of space, but it allowed us to get rid of dressers due to the massive amount of storage space provided in the drawers. Please note that the bottom drawers under the bed are not on tracks, these just have casters that easily roll on our patterned Berber carper. My biggest concern for this bed is how the drawers hold up over time as kids are very hard on furniture anyways and I have already seen them standing in the drawers.
The amount of garbage that this is packed in is ridiculous, be prepared for three garbage bags stuffed full of bags and Styrofoam and a massive stack of cardboard. While I'm grateful it arrived undamaged it's kinda of obscene how much trash there was.
Gorgeous bunk bed!
