Nice looking bed when completed, but my goodness this bed took all day to build. The bed was SO frustrating...be prepared to get extremely mad when you put in every slate for them just to fall out when you try to connect the other side. Beware it was advertised as holding 250lbs top bunk  250lbs bottom bunk, but the instruction book said 185lbs for each. Another problem was it was advertised as 2 day shipping, then got an emailed saying 2 weeks, but in reality it took 4 weeks!
