This bed is great!  We bought it for our 13 year old son and he loves it.  It was relatively easy to put together.  I think 2 of us had it done in 20 to 30 minutes.  The box was heavy so we just carried a piece or two at a time to his bedroom. The padded storage bench at the end is well made, is great for stashing all his gaming stuff, and is comfortable enough for him and his friends to sit on for hours while they are playing XBox.
