This item shipped to us very quickly but Wayfair is usually really good about fast shipping. It was easy to put together. My 12 year old and 19 year old put it together themselves in about an hour. The bunk beds are for them and they are pleased with it. The only feedback I have is that my son says the ladder hurts hood feet when climbing and getting down because it’s just metal bars. Maybe some sort of cushion or way of making them flat so they don’t hurt your feet would be a good idea.
