It was pretty easy to set up alone, although it does take a while if you don't have assistance. Getting the bottom bar "holders" to stay in is a bit of a challenge so make sure you have pliers/wrenches of some sort to help squeeze them in. There's a lot and your fingers WILL get tired!
Seems sturdy. I have the 16 y/o on the bottom and the 9 y/o on top and no one has come crashing through. My 16 y/o likes the extra space between the bottom and top bunk this time. No more hitting his head when he sits up!!
I personally am not a fan of the metal (metal looks like a prison bed), but they wanted metal and hopefully this will last a little longer than the wood one we had before.
A pretty good bed!
