We ordered this a couple months ago and finally got around to putting it together. I've been dreading it, figuring it would be a huge pain. Honestly it was much easier than I was anticipating. It took about 2.5 hours for my husband and I to put it together. The parts are all clearly labelled, and every part fits perfectly. It feels super sturdy and I have no worries about my children sleeping on it (as I have with some in store models we tested out!) I especially love that it can come apart to 2 separate single beds if my boys decide they don't want bunks anymore.
My only suggestion is to make sure your top support on the ladder side is the right direction!!! We did not pay attention and had to pull half the top of the bed apart to flip the beam over to attach the ladder. That was a pain but totally our own fault.
Strong, sturdy, excellent value
