We had our professionally assembled by because I just didnt want to be bothered. I did observe, and it wasnt too difficult / pretty clear instructions, parts labeled, everything did fit together properly.
However, the finished product is somewhat flimsy / it flexes way too much if you push on the side of the top bunk. I double checked all the screws and tightened up a few, but that didnt fix the problem.
Bottom line: Im sure it will be good enough for my 3/ and 5/year/old grandsons for some years to come. But theres no way this would be strong enough for a couple 150+ pound adults unless theyre VERY careful getting into bed and dont thrash around in their sleep. To small for the price.
