The bed was easy to assemble.  It took about 3 hours (by myself) and I only needed one person to help lift the top bunk onto the lower bunk.  The bed is very sturdy and well made.    

The only thing that caught me by surprise is that the storage drawers don't attach to the bed frame.  (You can roll them completely away from the bed) I am not sure if i like that or not, but was just surprised above all else.
