Received this bed set in June and finally had time to assemble in August. Assembly was very challenging for two people, taking several hours. Very disappointed in the quality. This was bought for our bay house for grandchildren and it looks fantastic, but one of the main pieces that supports the top bunk (side rail) has come apart where the long board was jointed together and then painted leaving a huge crack. The bed has not even been slept on yet and just the weight from the thin bunk mattress and supporting the top bunk must have put enough pressure on the joint to separate the wood. I am now afraid to allow my grandchild on the top bunk at all for fear it will collapse onto the bottom bunk.  This was a great idea but not made well at all. A total waste of money!
