While this bunk bed was easy to assemble and seems very sturdy once it's set-up, we were disappointed in the condition of some of the parts upon arrival. A couple pieces had rust smudges which didn't come clean and the curved bar for the upper bunk head/foot board was bent so badly we had to hammer it back into shape just to fit it into the end of the price it goes into. Since these are for a little boy's room and are bound to experience some wear and tear, we didn't sweat too badly over the smudged finish. Had we been unable to maneuver the bent piece into place and ensure the functionality of the bunk beds, they'd have been going back. These will serve their purpose. Well worth the sale price of $180, but not much more.
