Coming from a family that is not very coordinated with tools and putting things together, this was surprisingly easy to assemble. The instructions were very clear and helpful. i think it took a total of 2 hours from beginning to end. The bunk bed frees up a lot of valuable floor space (just so my daughter can put more clothes on the floor).
Cons: the box came all banged up and i wasnt sure if i was going to have all the pieces. luckily I did. Parts came bent so it was a little harder to assemble than it should have been. The instructions say not to tighten anything until told to do so, but then it say to tighten. Once assembled, the stairs are just metal beams, a little hard on the feet. But the worst thing is the stability. My daughter is not very big, think under 10% on weight charts. When she is climbing up or down or just moving, the entire frame creaks and sways. Now, i dont think it will come apart, but amount of movement is ridiculous.
Easy to assemble, but wish it was more stable
