Ive put together a fair amount of furniture in my life, and can sometimes get by without even looking at the instructions. Everything started well with putting this bunk bed together. Until it came time to install the long bars between the headboard and footboard. There are several different configurations, depending on whether you want the ladder on the right or left. Unfortunately the instructions gave zero guidance on this, and you are left guessing which long bar to use for bottom bunk, top bunk, back or front, so we put it together and took it apart no less than three times. Unbelievably insane and frustrating. A two hour job turned into 4-5 hours and I dont ever want to assemble another piece of furniture again for the rest of my life. Now that its over and a few months have passed, I can admit that its a nice sturdy bed and my son enjoys it.
