I bought four of these for a bunk room at a vacation rental home. It took four people about 4 hours to put them together. It wasn't too bad. The only complaint I have is that the hardware could be a little easier to use and some of the holes aren't pre-drilled in the drawers. I prefer the metal-to-metal type of locking screws thingies to put pre-fab furniture together. However, for the price, we were very pleased with the way the beds look, and they fit our budget perfectly. The drawer hardware is plastic, which is a little worrisome. I picture a kid standing in the drawers and busting out the bottom -- but you can hardly blame the bed maker for that type of abuse that is sure to come with a rental home. I will probably turn them against the wall and have beds without drawers at that point. They are heavy enough, and again, the price is right! If one breaks I will probably order another. Rental vacation homes are hard on furniture, so this is a good price for this type of use.
