I read the reviews before purchasing this item, and decided to get it anyway. Putting it together was quite annoying, as many others have mentioned. I used an x-acto knife to cut the flanges shorter on the 90-some plastic clips, so they would fit appropriately. It was time consuming but made the installation much more pleasant.
The instructions also don't indicate very well which parts are directional when you assemble it. I don't think I've seen any product to date that does though, so read ahead when putting it together, make sure the holes line up where they should.
All of that being said, the bunk bed is great for the price. And putting it together is a one-time ordeal so it was certainly worth it.
Nice product, annoying to assemble
