Whew / this was a challenge to put together. It was very heavy, and I had 2 helpers. I got two of them so that I could create a private space for each of my twin boys (who need to be near each other, but always fight). I set up the bottom as a bed, and on the top I put down the slats and covered it with plywood to create a platform for sitting and playing (I call it the loft). With 2 helpers, it took 3 hours to put together the first one, and 1.5 hours for the second one / so you can tell how much of a learning experience it is. There was only one place (different place on each one) where the holes has to be redrilled, but that wasnt a problem. The fabric are very good looking, and I ended up hanging them with hooks, rather than use the velcro. I would consider these *very* strong. Tons of bolts / and very long. The instructions were pretty clear, and all of the parts were there. An electric drill with hex bit is necessary (I cant emphasize this enough). I would definitely buy these again / but hopefully I dont need to. Beautiful!
Looks great, and strong!
