As expected. Okay, I have no idea how anyone got this together in two hours. Of course, I did have to use the handheld wrench because my charger to my drill was missing. It took my husband and I 6 HOURS to put the whole thing together. Two of the pieces came damaged, I dont have time to wait for replacements so I just put the thing together anyway. Several of the holes were packed with sawdust, one of the connecting holes that keeps the beds on top of each other was not drilled far enough and we had the basically hammer the dowel in so it would fit flush against the one below it. Two wooden dowels broke and we had to go to the hardware store and cut us some new ones. The directions were lacking. But all in all, it is super sturdy and takes up very little real estate and my kiddos love it. The wood is really soft and easily dented so I have no illusions that this will still look perfect in a year. The stupid stickers leave sticky residue and theyre a pain to get off. Overall though, Im fairly pleased with our purchase. Ill probably like it better when my hands no longer feel like giant bruises.
Not a quick assembly
