I love this bed, it isn't too easy to assemble, it is easily a two man job and you need to build it in the room its going to stay.  The main feature I love about this bed is the head and foot boards have a wide lip to the tops, both my kids like to line up bottles and random toys on there so I thankfully haven't had to build them shelves.  Usually only the top bunk has this lip but the bottom bunk has it on this bed too.
