This monster was extremely hard to put together. It took my husband and a friend of his over 10 HOURS to build. The instructions aren't very clear and they had to figure out a lot of things on their own because things weren't properly labeled. Like most manuals, the directions are pictures only which is a breeze when you're putting together a chair, but written instructions would have aided this progress tremendously. One piece came damanged and it's super noticeable because of it's placement on the bed. My kids didn't mind, but I expected the parts to be in good condition upon arrival. The bottom two drawers are actually one large drawer on wheels not supported by a track. So you cannot pull out one drawer at a time. The stair case is very narrow, great for SMALL children. Beware, if you plan on making the bottom a full read the directions carefully, there are additional steps required.
