Let's start from the beginning. Took about a week and a half from the time I ordered this bed to it being delivered. The box was hella heavy guys. Not even kidding. The spouse and I were struggling to get this up the stairs. Wound up cutting the box open and moving the pieces a few at a time. They were all intact with no damage.
The item itself is pretty good for the price we paid. I do have some issues. We bought the white version and the "paint" is very thin. I think it was just quickly airbrushed, and not very evenly overall. I already had an incident where the ladder got knocked as I was putting it on, and the paint scrapped clear off a part of the upper frame where it sits. I can tell touching up the paint is going to become a thing.
Also the directions are not the best. If you've ever assemble Ikea furniture, they're on par, but perhaps slightly worse as none of the hardware is labeled and you're gonna spend half the time trying to figure out if you've got the right screws. I think I spent an hour just looking back and forth between the screws' part list and the current instructions.
Overall, took me about 4 hours by myself, and my kid is ecstatic.
Lifting the bed frame up was the only difficult part of the assembly. I actually started with assembling the ladder before starting with the right and left frame. I had two problems because of my height (5 ft) and ceiling height was 8 ft. So I had to get creative... replaced the 6" mattress and bedding on top with a two inch high density foam mattress and a 4' x 6' high pile rug which my daughter loves sleeping on and is easy for me to remove and machine wash. The five stars is for the excellent overall assembly. Practically managed to do all by myself (although I would not recommend it unless you have no choice). This is sturdy enough for upto 70lb but more than I am not comfortable.
Looks good and instructions are simple, pay close attention to the photos! Must be done by hand and I definitely needed my husband's help to screw in most of the bolts. Assembly does take two. My kids love it! I sure hope it lasts until my kid grows out of it.

Mattress was too thick! and difficult to change sheets

Like the bed because we are still able to have floor space underneath.
