This is a very nice bunk bed, but it took a really long time to assemble.  There are over 400 parts for it, and it took my husband an entire day.  Now that it is completed it is a very nice piece of furniture and our grand sons love it.     It came in 5 very heavy boxes.  It was extremely well packaged. All the parts were there.   The assembly instructions were fair, so took some figuring out.   If you get this bed - I recommend you consider paying for the assembly.  We have furnished an entire house with Wayfair and this was by far the hardest assembly for any furniture.
