I bought 2 of these. Unfortunately only one arrived. This is not s fault. UPS lost the package. I found one used locally and went ahead and bought that. was very courteous and refunded my money on the lost one promptly. The bed itself is very sturdy and every part is labeled with a letter. They actually send some extra screws and miscellaneous parts in case you lose something. As far as assembly goes, it could be accomplished by one person, but it will be much easier with 2 people. They do provide you with an Allen wrench which will work if you dont have anything else, but the bolts are long and it will take forever that way. If you have a 1/4 drive socket wrench, the adapter and a 4mm Allen head, assembly will go much faster. Also, make sure you place the long rails at the top in the right directions. The long part of the slot goes up. Other than those couple of things the bed is great and the kids really like it. Nice for the price.
