Purchaced for my 4 year old and 19 month old. Decent quality for the price, it is what I expected based off of the reviews I read. Overall I reccomend this product. My 4 year old and myself put this together. This took us about 10 hours to assemble over 2 day, however, I was letting my 4 year old "help" and although we went slow, it was overall a fun project. It's not hard to assemble, just takes awhile. I reccomend having two adults set this up, one person work on the bed, and the other person set up the stairs (and slide if they are fast) separately (Divide and conquer). You can set up stairs and slide in a different room if there is a space issue, these pieces can easily be moved once it's assembled. The person working on the bed will need assistance on holding parts here and there, but no real muscle needed. My 4 year old daughter was able to help me prop it up, so not hard. I would estimate 2 adults could knock this out in 4 hours. The only additional tool you will need is an electric screw driver. I chose not to screw in the slide to the bed, as I like the option of removing the slide... particularly at bed time, or to create more space in the room when needed. I also chose not to screw in the wood slats on the bottom bunk. I have yet to screw the stair case to the bed. At this time I don't feel like it's a safety issue as it is pretty sturdy. I am chosing not do do this because I like the option of being able rearrange the stairs and the slide if I rearrange the room. I also purchaced two additional side rails for the bottom bunk that lily and max offers, this is so I can still have the crib-affect for my youngest. I am also choosing not to screw these in, as I like the option of being able to remove them.. I also purchased the pink curtain for the bottom bunk. Overall, I am happy with my order and the bunk bed.
Negative-ish Comments: the pink curtain is more of a bubble gum pink. I think I was expecting it to be darker. Also, shipping was delayed on my order, but that wasn't a big deal to me. Pieces #14 and #15 on the stairs were switch. and it was late and I was tired, so it took me about 30 minutes to figure out that the numbers were accidently switched. This is not high-end-quality; parts can break if you misshandle while assembling. Lastly. I don't like when you lay on the bottom bunk and you look up, and you see the wood slatts. I wish there was something that hid these, but im just being picky.
