This bed is great! My daughter absolutely loves it. The delivery process went very smoothly too! It took my daughter (who's 12) and I about 4-5 hours to put everything but the top bunk together (hubby and I had assembled that the night before). It's not a difficult assembly, just time consuming. Very, very happy with this bed! I will say that some of the boxes were pretty beat up. We had 2 small spots that had minimal damage but nothing that could be seen or impair safety. Overall...awesome!!
