Got this bed for my son for his 4th birthday.  My husband and dad put it together with ease.  Looks very classy in his bedroom and very versitle for as he gets older.  Drawers are wonderfully smooth and everything is very sturdy.  The only problem we had was some minor damage to the wooden skirt at the bottom of the staircase (splintered and cracked - repaired with woodglue... cannot see), the handrail isn't a 100% snug fit, but again, woodglue has made it unnoticable and the fillers on top of the bottom bunk rails were missing.  Have yet to contact for replacements.....
