I am in love with these bunk beds. They were easy to put together with 2 people. We got it built in about an hour and a half. It's a little more white than I would have liked. The picture makes it look grayish white but I can live with it. There was a lot of odor but we didn't really notice until we were done. I wouldn't sleep on them right away. Give them a couple of days and you should be fine. My son can't wait to sleep in his new room with his new bed!
