I cant comment on assembly because we paid a friend to put it together because our schedules just didnt allow for it. It took him about 4 hours on his own to do so which feels pretty fair for a project of this size with one person! I think I love this bed more than my 3 and almost 7 year olds do! Though, they do both adore their new bed. I am all about extra storage so I was very particular when looking for a bed and I knew I wanted the staircase format because of the youngest only being 3, it just makes me feel safer. The drawers are so spacious and open so easily and I love the storage cubbies on the side! One holds their Echo and their diffuser with plenty of depth to spare for size reference. I love the anti slip strips on the steps especially since the wood is very slick and smooth. As far as sturdiness, I am impressed. I exceed the recommended weight for the top bunk but it does not waver if I have to climb up to get the 3 year old out of bed in the morning (she sneaks up there to sleep with her big sister sometimes). I was very skeptical about buying a bed online so I still went and looked around at local furniture stores and the ONLY bed I found that provided the extra storage I liked and the staircase style steps was about $600 more than I paid for this bed and it did NOT include the delivery fee. Im happy I went with this bed and saved the extra money. The quality seems to be about what youd get from a furniture store but you can save some money in the process! The boxes it comes in are VERY heavy (to be expected) but I also really like that each box is labeled with what parts are inside and the box that includes the directions tells you that!! That was something I was absolutely not expecting. I would definitely recommend this bed. (P.S. we ordered Aveline 8 mattresses off of for both bunks and they fit great! While I havent slept on them, they seem to be working great for the kids).
Wow!!
