Putting this up by yourself is difficult, but doable. My big complaint is several of the predrilled holes dont line up making it very difficult to assemble correctly, and make screws tight for correct use. One of the long screws had a flaw in the hex as if it had been stripped, so it was unusable, and A replacement bought. As well as on set of screw holes for the top bunk rail where off so much the holes half over lapped so a drill and hole bit was used to make the holes line up so the screws could go through the leg pipe and into the rail. The tallest ladder was also a pain due to improper alignment.
It seems to be sturdy now that it is fully together, and my kids are excited for it. We shall see if it stays that way. Other than that, its a great product!
Some hole alignments were way off.
