The overall assembly process was straight/forward. It is easier if you can use a drill for the screws, due to there being so many. That said, it is a sturdy design and is working great for our daughter and her friends.
One drawback was that I had to bore one hole for the upper rail. The hole that was predrilled was in the wrong location. I have titanium drill bits, and was able to drill the hole without compromising the integrity of the metal, so it worked just fine. For some, this would have been a deal breaker. Love, love, love it!
Good and sturdy
