Overall it's a great bed for the price. Assembly with 3 people took about 2.5 hrs using a battery powered drill to speed up the screw process. It was a difficult assembly because only a portion of the pieces were labeled, so we spent some time validating we had the correct pieces assembled the correct way and one of the bags of hardware was mis-labeled, but at least everything was there. There were two spots that the wood split that will require repair with wood glue and tension, but it didn't affect the structural integrity of the bed. If you have a tight budget and want a nice set of bunks, this fits the bill.
