Fortunately all the pieces were included, however not all the holes lined up correctly and my husband had to make adjustments. The bed is noisy and when someone sleeping on the top bunk turns over, the bed squeaks and moves. I feel it is safe but wish it didn't make squeaky sounds and was more sturdy and not so wiggly. If I could, I would return it for a better quality bunk bed set

Simple, look great. Order a low mattress, I got a 12inch and it’s at the top of the railing.
