This bed great quality and it was fairly easy to put together. There were two steps in the directions that were just wrong - wrong count and wrong pieces. It was easy to figure out though. It took about three leisurely hours to put together one evening with my 14 year old daughter. The bed parts are great quality, it feels good when it's up and my 12 year old son loves the space underneath. It's also nice that it isn't too high which makes changing sheets a real pain and can put the kid close to the ceiling fan.

Make sure you take measurements to fit the steps! And that you know that it's pretty low. You can't fit a desk or even a chair under it. It's a reading space to curl up with the dog for us.
