Well, it was challenging to put together because some of the holes did not line up when assembling the pieces. It also squeaks every time my kiddo climbs to the top bunk. But all I can say is you get what you pay for. It was an inexpensive bed and it does what it should do I guess. The box it came in was huge, taller than my door frame I had to lean it to drag it in, and very heavy, I believe the site said 80lbs shipping weight but the box said 90 and it felt like 100! Also one piece had a scrape on one of the bars but I assume that happened during shipping, and one piece was bent but I just hammered it back to straight. The thing I like most is the bottom bunk is roomy for 2 or even 3 kids during a sleepover and is very sturdy, the specs says it will hold up to 250lbs. I probably would not buy again, would maybe splurge on a nicer wooden bed.
