Super easy to put together. We bought 2 to turn our media room into a guest bunk room when family comes to visit. Advertised as a kids bed but definitely big and sturdy enough for adults, for which we are intending to use it. Design is modern and clean and easy to build. I built it by myself and each bed took about 1.5 hours. Bed does not creak but the metal slats under the mattresses make a little noise when you aggressively roll over on the mattress, but that’s standard.  Would definitely recommend
