Sturdy, not too hard to assemble, but needs longer slats on the main bed.
I read the reviews that said this takes a while to build. They are right. But what I did was watch some good tv while building each component and prepping all the pieces. The next day, I assembled them. The assembly after all the prep took about 1/2 hours, which isnt bad. I also did most of it on my own. The 14 year old helped here and there. Very sturdy!! One complaint is that all the slats seem to be cut to fit the assembly, while the bed itself is slightly larger. This led to a few slats being a bit too short and screws splitting the wood of the frame because they were too close to the edge. I would suggest the manufacture ship one group of slats and another forthe main bed slats. They shouldnt try to do this one/size/fits/all approach because one size doesnt fit both. Other than that, it is very cool and works extremely well for a teenage boy. The drawers for clothes is a plus.
