The bed itself is really quite nice. Well constructed and sturdy. Assembly takes a while simply because there are so many pieces but was easy enough. My only tip is to disregard the 8 (bottom)/6 (top) mattress thickness recommendations. We hd to add a boxspring to the bottom bunk and a bunkie board to the top to add height to the bottm bunk and ensure that we could not feel the crossbars on the top. A thicker mattress on both would have solved the problem from the outset.
Also, unfortunately my kit was missing a bunch of the top bunk crossbars. I contacted the seller/manufacturer through their web site and received the parts well ahead of the expected date. No one likes missing pieces but to me how a seller handles unexpected problems is paramount. I give these folks high marks for prompt and satsfactory customer service. Takes up less space.
