Assembly instructions were very easy to follow. It did take me right at 8.5 hours to assemble but I did it mainly by myself except for help to hold pieces or lift the top bunk up. I’m not sure how it will look when separated to two beds in the future since there are several areas screws were needed that will be visible once it’s separated to two beds. Hoping to be able to find a paint to match when I fill holes after taking apart.
