The bed is extremely difficult to put together. Took us about 3-4 hours. Each piece is labeled but it is not clear which way it goes. We have 4 different pieces backwards. And the only way to know is after you have it mostly together and you are putting the wood in. The ladders are actually not centered and there needs to be a 13” gap for the wood. But we ended up with a  12” gap and needed to swap them. It’s an ok bed. You get what you pay for. I probably wouldn’t buy it again.
