My husband and I love the beds (now that they're put together) and the kids are thrilled with them, but putting the beds together was a nightmare.  The directions are terrible!  None of the parts are marked and it's very easy to put the wrong board with the wrong bed, only to realize that at the very end and then have to take everything apart and put together again...  If you buy the beds you'll love them.  Just be aware that the directions will make you want to scream.
