This is a very solid, nice looking bunk bed for my son's room.  It took me about 6 hours to put together and is definitely a 2 person job (I did it myself).  One of the planks that supports the upper bed arrived with a big knot in it and split in two as soon as someone climbed on the top, but it was easily replaced with a piece of wood we already had.  For the money, I think it's a great deal.
