Actually impressed with the quality. The natural finish is a lot lighter than it looks in the pics though. More like a unstained light maple but looks more Honey in the pics. The directions were fairly easy to follow except that for some components you needed to bounce around and come back to simply because it's a bunk bed. It did take about 4 hrs to finish but 1/4 of it was moving and unboxing. Then I had my preschooler helping which took a little longer too but I was able to complete it without help from another adult. I would suggest a cordless drill with a hex but instead of the included Allen. Overall a good buy and I'd recommend it.
