This bed takes some time to piece together and at first the directions are like wut.. but then you get into the flow of it and realize it isn't that bad, but it is.. 99% of the screws go into place fine, but the window part didnt line up and I had to drill my own holes and leave put a acrew on each side with this little Alan wrench it came with and the screws. I left 2 on the button out.. no way I was doing 2 more.. it was still sturdy though. Some of the screws also feel like they're in correctly, but some of them are so long and you have to painstakingly force your way to the end with your hands throbbing, as if you had to make manual holes. if you have tools, you're fine. I do not (or probably did but dunno where). After you start putting on the base boards you're probably going to look at the bottom bunk and say man it's really low to the ground and the kid who gets top bunk is the lucky one, but once you put the mattress in it it's fine. The kids dont care either. This is a great decor piece, meaning you can add stuff to it like lights and curtains for the bottom, which we plan doing. Make sure to buy 6 inch mattresses. Any bigger won't fit right. If you search on and see a pink memory foam mattress that also comes in color blue. They are GREAT! REALLY SOFT AND FIRM. Great deal. I thought I was taking a gamble for costs, but they really are amazing mattresses for the price. I'll have a review for them also. They come with 2 memory foam pillows. They look like baby mattresses in the pic. But in person an adult can use them. they are that good. Anyways, hope this helps. Your kids will have a blast!
Hands hurt but kids are freaking over excitement!
