As with may of the other reviewers, I researched and read reviews all over the web when I was shopping for bunk beds for my young boys. I was really happy when the beds were delivered within just a few days, but the box is SUPER heavy! They were not so much difficult to put together because of the pieces or directions, but the alignment of the holes and parts were WAY off. It was really frustrating to assemble because we had to drill several new holes in the wood to attach pieces. We had to disassemble whole parts of the bed and go back to previous steps in the directions because holes and hardware were not fitting together properly.
Now that the beds are put together I love the way they look and it looks like a nice quality bed that feels sturdy for my sons to sleep in. I am a bit concerned with the slats not being close enough together, because when I made the bed the other day and went to climb down the ladder / the weight of my knee pushed the mattress down between the slats. A friend suggested putting a piece of plywood under the mattress, and I will probably end up doing that for extra support. So, they are good beds but they come with some issues!
