I bought this for my grandchildren room. I was home alone when it was delivered and had to take the box apart outside and hand carry all the pieces to the room because the box was heavy and big enough to be awkward. The pieces were all there and labeled and the instruction sheet was easy to follow, so putting it together was fairly simple, although I did need a helper on occasion and definitely at the end of the process. A 6 year old is currently using it. She has no problems getting in or out of the bed, the bottom is holding well (no need for plywood addition at this point) and the space underneath the bed is perfect for a kids play area or an extra sleeping space. Mom and Nana have both snuggled her on occasion with no problems weight wise. It is sturdy and I really like the cut out on the ends for kids to climb in, rather than having them on the side.
The room is small, so I bought this one partly because of the built in vertical ladder, but after using it would actually prefer a ladder that slopes but could be changed to vertical for playtime.
Overall, this was a great find and worth the money. Cozy and sturdy.
