Update 6 Mar 2015: Just a note, the screws will need to be tightened with the hex head tool after 30 days. We noticed ours starting to wiggle and most of the screws got a little loose. Just make sure you monitor it.
Was leery of low price point and quality, but this bed has turned out to be a winner. It is solid wood, yet is still light enough to make an easy assembly but not too light that it moves when fully assembled. Installation was a breeze, pre/drilled holes make alignment nice. Although not every piece of wood had a labeled letter to correspond to instructions, but deducing where everything went was still fairly easy. An extra hand is helpful, but was not needed for 95 of the installation. The slats (bunkie boards) are SOLID 5/8 ply, if you can snap these slats something went wrong like .a 400Lb gorilla jumping up and down on it. They also smooth sanded the top of the slats (facing the mattress), an easy detail to miss but an extra step in providing longevity to your mattress.
The only bear to the installation were the screws for the ladder, very hard to hand turn.
Zero smell on this white bunk (saw other reports of odors).
Bottom line great bunk bed, great price, sturdy, not too high and kids love it!
Great bunk bed, kids love it, feels safe.
