Really like the color/look of this bed, we bought if for our 13 year old son. Very appropriate for a teenager. It definitely took my husband and I working together to build it, although with enough time I'm sure one person could do it on their own. The directions were clear, however, a color-picture of which pieces they are referring to as some of them are very similar, minus a slight size different or an obvious color difference. We accidentally used the wrong parts in one direction, but it didn't affect the overall build. Still, frustrating to realize you used the wrong parts and would have to take apart the whole bed to get to them.
Otherwise, it seems very sturdy and looks nice in his room. Happy with this bed.
