When I saw the box, I was sure there was missing parts, but everything was there and was ready to build. You will need some help and a drill with allen heads to speed the process up. I imagine you you use the hex tool provided, it would take 6/8 hours to build. It took myself, with the occasional help of my wife about two hours to assemble. The bed is beautiful and very sturdy. I did not think it would be as sturdy as it is, but I am 205lbs and when I lay on the bottom bunk to read to my daughter, it feels very sound. Great bed for the money and I would not hesitate to buy again. The painted finish is very nice and is in fact solid wood. Better price available for same designs
Great Bed
