Love this bed! Wasn't to bad to put together.  Took my husband and I about 3 hours for the 1st bed and about an hour and 1/2 on the 2nd bed (bought one for both kids). The bed looks beautiful and gives my kids so much more room space while still getting to have a full size bed. They love that they can make it look like a couch when their friends come over too. If I had to list a downfall it would be putting the drawers together. The screw holes are not pre-drilled. The 1st bed we used a screw driver and 2nd bed we used the drill. Definitely recommend using the drill just be extra careful not to split the wood. Overall I would definitely recommend!
