I was thoroughly impressed with the quality of the build. All parts and pieces are sturdy and easy to assemble. If you are handy, then this can be assembled simply with one person (approx. 2 hrs). Two people will cut the time in half. The bed is a little creaky and will move some when getting on, off and during sleep but it still feels very stable. I would recommend some pool noodles or a type of wrap to make ladder rungs more comfortable when climbing barefoot. The mattress we purchased was an 8 full and is perfect height to the rails (midway). The mattress is a very tight fit so fitting bedding can be a bit of a struggle, but its never easy to change on raised beds. Overall I was more than happy with this purchase and my son loves it in his new room. No complaints, really happy
