This piece took my husband all day but I guess it took longer since some screws that came with it didn’t actually fit. I purchased this bc of the wood and reviews for being sturdy but we had to go and purchase thick plywood with a fine finish to use instead of the slats that came with the bed. They were compressed wood and splintered everywhere. We threw them out. The middle part of the rails on top bunk are actually flimsy and I would expect them to break easily. We are going to visit family for a while so my husband has plans to reinforce the entire bed. Also, we let the bunk bed air out for about a week before using it, I wiped it down a few times but the chemical smell was still strong so we basically camped out in the living room during that time. Also, I used 8 inch mattresses and they fit just fine for the kids And still safe. Recommend getting corner guards.
Not what we expected must reinforce
