Love this bed. It is perfect for my son's (and his future brother's) room. I like the ladder that comes in from the side, instead of over the other bed. There are challenges to putting the bed together, for sure. My husband is a carpenter and it probably took him around 4 hours, maybe a little less. The construction appears to be sturdy - more sturdy than much of the furniture out there today. We shall see how it holds up over time. Overall, great value and I'm really pleased with our purchase. Looks exactly as its pictured.

The bunk beds are beautiful and well made. The assembly instructions were horrible. Thank god for diagrams. Even so it was difficult to find the diagram (I received at least 4 different instruction sheets) that matched the combination of beds that I purchased. With proper instructions my assembly could have been completed in about 3 hours instead of 4 1/2 hours.
