This was pretty easy to out together.  The directions are clear. The parts are labeled well. You can do this as one person, but it is a lot easier with 2 people (cuts the time). The wood is solid and well made.  The slats provide great support for both top and bottom. They provide enough slats that the best doesn't pop through. I like that this is multi-functional: it can be used as a bunk bed or separately. We plan to move within the next year so we will be set when they have their own room.
