Takes about 3 hours to assemble with two people if you can follow directions. Provided time doesnt include any prepping of area its going into. Assembled mine solo. took up alot of day assembling it. It went Into small room 9x15 with 9 foot ceiling. Used old twin mattress until I can get full size ordered. With a 10 inch mattress I got about 2 feet of room left on top but below is desk with gaming chair and a recliner and a folding tray table. Biggest dislike is the ladder steps, they are very painful on bare feet. And wish the entry point from top of ladder was more open. I am 6 280lbs. and it hasnt collapsed yet or shown any signs of stress. Lol so yes it is sturdy, just wobbles getting in and out. Also bought magnetic flashlight for underneath. It gets a little dark since overhead light is blocked. Better price available for same designs
Good buy
