This Is Quite The Piece To Construct So Either Hire Someone Or Be Prepared To Spend A Few Hours. I Am Very Good At Assembling Furniture And While This Wasn'T Extremely Difficult, It Was Time Consuming! The Children Seem To Enjoy The Bed. I Was Worried About Safety But Once It Was Put Together, It Felt Sturdy And As Long As They Don'T Jump On The Bed Or Jump Off, We Are Good. Pros: Sturdy, Cutecons: Time Consuming To Build
