This is exactly what I needed for 2 growing boys! It's not too tall so no need to worry about a child hitting their head. The get built as 2 beds so when it's time they will be converted into 2 separate beds. It is definitely a 2 person job and took about 2.5hrs. The parts have no numbers on them so you are matching up pieces with pictures. This is was caused a bit of delay as a few pieces were put on the wrong side. But it was worth it to see the boys faces light up with their new bed.
