I bought these for my girl's room in white. It took me and my brother-in-law about 3 and a half hours to build. The drawers for the stairs come already assembled which made things easier. I got the drawers for under the bed which were very easy to build but do not  have tracks to slide so they just sit under the bed. The boxes weren't labeled with the order so we had to open all of them before building to find the instructions. You definitely need at least two people to build this. I would recommend buying this bed.
