Just put the bed up and it went together pretty well. There are A LOT of pieces. I should have pulled everything out complete, removing the boxes from the room, before I worked on it. Once everything is out, its just a matter of grinding it out.
I was surprised with how sturdy the bed felt when put together. The only thing that isnt a tight fit is the rods that connect the top and bottom. Not that Im worried about them, but they are smaller diameter than the holes they fit into. So they are the only thing with the potential for a bit of play, but the weight of a mattress on top keeps it pretty secure.
Boxes are extremely heavy, so it was a doozy bringing them upstairs myself. Im not sure when the best time to transfer the top bunk onto the bottom is, but I picked a midpoint so I could do it by myself. I was a bit worried about the pieces flexing but it worked out alright.
If you have the space, I would build the bunks completely separately, as the cross slats for the top bunk were difficult to put in while it was on top. Luckily at 61 I was able to manage.
Enjoy the Video!
Will update as our girls use them! Very good value.
