This is a high quality bunk bed at a great!!!! price. The instructions were mostly pretty clear but I did end up having to make two alterations/corrections.
My first error was the orientation of the drill hole guides on the headboard which holds the perpendicular support beam for the bed slats. I used a tape measure to transfer the hole locations on the other side.
My second error was the bottom bolt holes that hold the ladder in place ended up being on the opposite side after lifting the bed onto the other by myself. Didnt want to do that again so I simply drilled new holes and countersunk them for the bolts.
My one issue I did encounter, not of my own doing, was with securing the ladder to the top bunk. To do so I had to unscrew the slats that were in the way of the bolt holes, a minor annoyance, but an annoyance none the less.
Lastly I have doubts about the structural strength of the top bunks guardrail attachment located next to the ladder. It has a wiggle to it and although I have told my children not to use it to pull themselves up onto the top bunk but kids will be kids. I will end up securing the rail on the other side for more stability.
In conclusion, this is a really outstanding bunk bed frame with mostly clear instructions that looks fantastic and is very sturdy. I highly recommend this product. recommend, Perfect and splits into 2 twins when ready
