The bed arrived quickly and in great condition. Assembly was easy (once you figure out which screws are which - a couple sets of them look a lot alike) and took about 90 minutes with 2 people and a power screw driver. It looks just like it is pictured (we ordered the white). The only cons, in my opinion, are that you can't change where the ladder is and that although it is rated for 250 lbs (top and bottom bunks), I wouldn't trust 250 lbs on the top bunk. The beds feel solidly built, but the wood pieces are slightly thinner than I would've expected for that weight rating. Overall, it looks great and the kids love it!
