Finally put the bed together, 6 months after ordering it, and am pleased with my purchase. The and trundle are for use in my guest room, mainly for my niece and nephew when they come over.
The package is very heavy, and needed 3 people to carry and maneuver up the stairs and into the room (though the 3rd person probably wasnt much help). There are many many pieces to this set and I made sure to count all of the pieces before assembling (with 2 extra slat spacers /pictured below). I was able to put the bed together by myself, though it wouldve been easier with 2 people for certain steps. The directions are mostly step by step pictures with a small description in words which was surprisingly easy to understand. I did wish more of the actual parts were labeled so I wasnt second guessing myself, but it wasnt that much of a hindrance. There are separate tool sets for the and the trundle, so be sure you have the correct one to start, because both sets are labeled with 1/3. It is pretty time consuming to put both beds together. Alone, it took maybe 2 hours. The longest part is putting on the slat spacers.
It is probably going to be difficult to take the bed apart when I move. Each slat is locked in with a plastic plug that will be difficult to remove and probably break. Im hoping I can keep the slats in place and remove the guard rails and posts instead.
The trundle bed was easy to put together and rolls easily in and out from under the bed. I measure about 10 inches from the bottom of the to trundle bed.
Overall, Im happy with my purchase. Very helpful.
