I read the reviews and thought yeah, but Im an aerospace enginee, surely a rocket scientist can put it together faster. So I started a stop watch on the phone, cracked open the box, and low and behold, 2 hours and 41 minutes. Seriously. The concern isnt the instructions, they are very clear. Its actually the pieces themselves. The vertical slats dont fit in the pre bored holes. It too nearly 30 minutes alone to bore out the 12 holes to fit the six slats. Other than that, its a LOT of screws. Bed is nice, decent quality for my 4 year old. Its Brilian pine, not particle board, but I still have concerns about putting too much weight on it. The drawers are very big. Nice product for the price. If I didnt have to bore the holes out, I would have gone 5 stars. Cheers! Very reasonable too!!
Really does take 2 hours 41 minutes to assemble
