A bit fussy to put together (especially the slats!!!).  The 2nd twin loft bed I ordered came with metal, rollout slats (similar to ikea style . . . they just unroll, and you anchor them into place).  Not sure how stable these slats will be in the long run.  Just trusting the specs on this one.  Bed wobbled horribly until the ladder was installed.  1 post was completely off the ground until ladder was in place, which doesn't give me much confidence in the stability.  Again, completely trusting the specs (and other reviews) on this one.  Otherwise, the bed definitely looks nice in my son's bedroom (ordered it in black metal and accessorized with the brown/black ikea malm series against Home Depot's Behr eggshell paint, in Paris blue, on the walls).  My son is happy, and I'm pleased with the overall look of the room.
