The bed arrived fairly quickly and deliverer right to my door. The box is large and heavy, though I was able to pick it up and move it into my garage. The box was somewhat beaten up from shipping, but the contents were in pristine condition and well packaged. Each part is individually wrapped in plastic with styrofoam separating large pieces and completely lining the sides of the box.
Assembly was straightforward, and with one adult (except for the final few steps) it took about 3 hours / mostly due to the number of bolts. It IS possible to assemble it with one adult, but is definitely not recommended as it would require you to hold large, heavy pieces perfectly aligned while finding bolt holes and getting the bolts started by hand. I called my 14 year old daughter in for the major piece assembly and it was fairly easy.
The bed is very sturdy. Dont get me wrong, you can wiggle it a little back and forth, but my impression is that youd have to purposely attempted to tip it over to actually make it do so. The kit also include wall mounting brackets that allow you to bolt the bed to the wall (into studs or structural members) to absolutely ensure it cant move. I did not do that, and am comfortable with it as is.
Overall a good bed that both my teenage daughter and I are satisfied with.
Great value, sturdy and nice looking bed!
