The bed came in two boxes, everything was labeled, a few pieces were labeled incorrectly which made a very minor set back in the assembly process. I built it by myself mostly, and it took about five hours. Not that bad in my book since a normal bunk bed by myself took me almost four and I had a few setbacks on this one. It does shake a little more than our normal bunk bed but I expected that due to its bigger size. There is not a lot of room between each bed so it isnt much taller than a regular bunk bed and allows it to fit better in most bedrooms. Perfect for space saving which is why I wanted it. The only thing I really hate about this bed is the wooden slates that the mattress sits on top of, I wish there was more and that they werent so rough. My daughter ended up with a few splinters. I tried to sand them down which helped immensely but it was time consuming and they still wont fully smoothen out. I plan on buying some plywood to cover them and give the mattress some extra support but for the price the bed cost I wish I didnt have to do any of that. The bed is for my daughters room. My cat who is a girl decided that means she gets dibs on the middle bunk. I have had it for a week now, so far I would give it a 8/10. My kids and cat give it a 10/10. Easy to assemble. Very sturdy.
Great bed, but careful for splinters
