The bed came in two boxes. It took me, with the help of my 6-year old, about 5 hours to put together. I only need my husband to lift the assembled roof section. I didn't use the bed slats for the bottom bunk, but I added those to the top to make it more sturdy. I used a 12-inch mattress on the bottom, 8-inch on the top. The 12-inch is a little thick, but we already had it from a previous bed. Decent quality. Overall great bed for the price.
Overall great bed for the money.
