Built this by myself (my 5 year old gave some assistance here and there), and it was relatively time consuming but overall easy! My daughter loves it! Makes normal amount of noise for a metal bed frame, it’s not too high that I feel unsafe with her up there, and it’s enough space that she can hang out underneath, but not necessarily stand straight up. The instructions have it on the front page that they would send any replacement parts free which was a breath of fresh air from other companies I’ve been using, but all pieces were included! Be cautious when putting together the foot and head “boards” as the very top curved pieces are hard to put back on when they aren’t laying down!
