We purchased these bunks for my two year old boy/girl twins. We currently have them side by side as we think our children are not mature enough for them to be bunked. The assembly process was simple, the directions could have been a little more clear.  For example, the labels were wearing off and hard to read. The pegs for the ladder were too long, so we were unable to assemble it at this time. We actually damaged a part in the process of trying to screw in the peg. Overall, this was a nice buy for the price. It seems sturdy, fits the aesthetic for the way we're decorating the room well, and will grow with our small children. I have included images of where we damaged the ladder slightly and how the labels are wearing off.
