I saw the reviews for this bed after I ordered it and I was a bit nervous. I am not sure If there was a manufacturing issue that has been corrected or if it was a user error issue, but this bed worked great for us.
My husband and I put it together and from start to finish, it took us less than two hours, but that was with a significant break when we realized we were going to have to rearrange some furniture in my daughters room to accommodate the trundle. Otherwise, we would have finished in under 90 easily.
I will give you three tips for assembly / 1. Do not fully tighter the screws until the bed is complete. 2. Some of the trundle slats were a little harder to deal with than others. If the cuts were a little off, they were more difficult to slide into place. The harder to fit ones seemed to work best in the middle sections of the bed. 3. The instructions are not that great with direction. BE CAREFUL when you are screwing in the pieces that the slats slide into. If you are not playing attention, you may end up putting them in upside down and then you will have to disassemble.
There are A LOT of small plastic pieces on this bed. Dont be overwhelmed, they go together quickly.
So far my daughter is thrilled with this bed. She is happy, I am happy.
About 90 mins/2 people to assemble
