As pictured; my 14 and 12 yo put it together one night with adult help lifting parts; the drawers are on casters but not actually built in so they do not stay in alignment when rolling in and out but that's minor issue but reason for four stars; had hard time finding one with drawers built in where ladder didn't block opening the drawer so this was best option; I have slept on top bunk and felt safe; also like that top bunk can handle thicker mattress
