It wasn’t difficult for 2 people to put together. It’s strong enough but it does wobble when our daughter shifts in bed. We had to wrap the metal rungs as she found them uncomfortable on her feet. We have vinyl plank flooring and the bed does slide on the floor a bit when she tosses and turns. We’ve put nonslip material on them so they don’t slide anymore. Overall a decent bed for the price but it would be better if the loft bunk was reinforced to be sturdier and having non slip feet would be ideal. It arrived with all parts and no damage. Not nearly as sturdy as a but far less costly. wooden frame
