This is a great quality bed for the money. I put it together with my eight year old son. The only downsides were that the wood scratches easily (like all espresso furniture).  Some items were not labeled and some were labeled incorrectly. If you want the stairs on one particular side pay attention to the holes to attach the stairs as they are only on one side of each of the end pieces so depending on how you attach the trundle wood on the bottom you can’t just flip the bed around to add the stairs unless you have the holes on the right side. I didn’t realize this and had to attach the stairs to the bed by making my own holes afterwards so that I wouldn’t have to swap out the bottom braces. All in all a great bed!
