I most definitely love it Arrived in three boxes. The heaviest box contained the hardware, bed slats, ladder, and the majority of the frame. A lighter but longer box contained the length-wise pieces. And the third box contained the drawer.
Assembly was fairly straightforward. All that was needed was a screwdriver and the provided hex wrenches. The instructions were pictures only but were relatively easy to follow. Pieces were conveniently labeled with numbers to simplify the process. I was able to complete all steps by myself except for the part where the upper bunk was lifted on top of the lower. The most difficult part was aligning the decorative slats in the head and foot boards. I also had to re-do one step since I had the screw holes on the headboard facing the wrong way. If you keep in mind that small holes face inward; recessed holes face outwards, youll have no problems.
If you intend on using foam mattresses, youll need to buy some 1/4 plywood (4ft x 74) to lay on top the slats, which are spaced 12 apart with 9.5 gaps.
The bed is made entirely of wood except for two metal support bars that run lengthwise underneath the mattress slats.
Overall, the bed is sturdy and quiet. No creaks and minimal movement felt on the bottom bunk when someone is moving on the top.
Sturdy and nice looking
