Took me about 2.5 hours to assemble - a little bit of help from another adult for some of the trickier parts but mostly on my own. You will need a mallet, a drill, and a box cutter/scissors! My only complaint is that the bed support slats are maybe a little too far apart and my childs 5 inch gel mattress on the top bunk doesnt feel greatly supported if I lay on it. But, since the kid weighs 50 pounds it does the job and doesnt sag for him. It could easily be fitted with an extra piece of plywood for support if an adult were to have a thin mattress like we do on the top bunk.
Happy with the price point of only $400. Seems sturdy, which was my number one interest while shopping. All the wood was in great shape, no scratches/dents upon arrival. All the hardware was present and the instructions were clear and easy to follow. Also, you CAN install the ladder on either side you wish!
