I was able to put this together by myself in about 6 hours. having someone else would have made it easier but prob not that much faster. fairly simple to understand how to do it just give your self time to do it i watched a tv series while doing it. the bed was taller then i was expecting so the top bunk for me dosent have much room once a mattress is put in for a 9 year old to lie down. i like the table feature but you have to take out the screws to move it from a table to a bed. This is really not easy the screws are hard to get to and you have to have the tool it came with to remove them. Also this is where you would like to have someone else helping because the table is kinda heavy awkward doing this .There is a gap on the bottom when you put the table down so with the cushion it came with it does not make for a comfortable bed. The cushion falls into the gaps. I got this because her room is tiny and was trying to give her the most space but it really does not work well with the low ceiling. I would not recommend this for a teenager the bed wobbles i wouldnt be comfortable with someone over 100lb getting on top even though it seems very sturdy.
has pros and cons
